What the little bird said.

... that the niece of a friend's friend had just been diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer.  She's aged 31.

... that a colleague's son was diagnosed with lymphoma at aged 17.  He went through the chemotherapy five years ago and is still kicking today.

... that Breast Cancer does not necessarily present itself as a lump in the breast, painful or otherwise.  A local artiste was admitted into the hospital for a stubborn fever which refused to subside.  Further tests confirmed that she had Stage 4 Breast Cancer.  No lumps painful or otherwise.  No blood oozing from the nipple. This, I did not understand. I thought that all breast cancer appear as a lump in the breast.
