For the ladies, i manage to find an article....think i have heard enough stories of young ladies like you all getting breast cancer liao.. do take a look

Breast Cancer - Ninety percent of the breast lumps are felt by the women themselves. Thus, it is important for women to understand and practise BSE (breast self- examination)

There are serveral factors that contribute to breast cancer
a) Family history of breast cancer
b) Age over 35
c) Early (under 12) menarche- start of period
d) late Mennopause (after age 50)
e) Childless or first child after 30
f) Benign breast disease
g) A diet high in animal fats

Symptons of breast cancer- changes in the breast are often the first indication that breast cancer may be present. These includes:
a) a lump in the breast that persists
b) Bleeding or discarge from the nipple
c) a change in the shape of breast
d) A puckering or dimpling of the skin of the breast
e) A new retraction (pulling in) of the nipple

When to do BSE (breast self- examination)
- once a month about one week after your period ends. the breast are the softest after menstruation when hormone level are low
- if u are menopausal, fix a day every month
- best to do it every fortnightly
