Times are changing. What used to be the headache of matured women,
Olufamous.com gathered, is now finding its way into the lives of little
children.
A medical mission in Anambra State has detected breast cancer in an
11-year-old girl. The mission, sponsored by the Anambra Indigenes
Association in the U.S., has been providing free medicare to the people
of the state in various localities since its arrival on August 6.
The coordinator of the team, Mr John Obegolu, said in Nteje, Oyi
local government area of the state that the girl had been slated for
surgery. Obegolu said the detection solved a mystery around the girl, whose
parents had concluded that she had a spiritual attack, saying most of
the health issues being experienced by Nigerians could be avoided if
they were well-informed.
He said it had become necessary to teach local women the need for
early breast cancer detection and prevention to enhance their
healthcare.
Also speaking, a member of the team, Mrs. Nkem Aboh, advised women to
go for mammogram test, a procedure that uses radiation to diagnose the
internal parts of the body, saying the amount of radiation was very
small compared to the benefits of detecting breast cancer on time.
