Chhavi
Mittal emphasizes the value of early breast cancer screening
Chhavi Mittal has been
actively raising awareness of the condition through her social media accounts
ever since she was given the news that she had breast cancer in April of this
year. The actor continues to share details about her battle with cancer, from
her diet and exercise routine to her recuperation.
In a recent Instagram
video, she discussed the value of breast cancer early detection. "Breast
cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most frequent type of cancer in the
world today. but good news, right? If caught early, it is completely treatable.
Whose hands are in for early detection? Yours! So be aware of your own body and
take the necessary action," she said.
She referred to early
detection of breast cancer as "the sole solution," adding that she
has witnessed survivors of stage 4 breast cancer who had had intensive
treatment recover. More than anything else, it causes emotional distress for
those who experience it.
Chhavi emphasized the
significance of routine checks to avoid all of this. You only need to do your
scheduled checkups on time. It's quite significant. I believe my bump was
staring me in the face when I discovered it. It is so dumb that I ignored it.
She continued by
explaining how to find breast cancer. The first stage is to conduct a self-examination,
the actor said. Of course, mammograms are the next step. There are many things
you can do. Be informed and don't close your eyes to the symptoms.
Chhavi pleaded with
people not to overlook the clear warning signs, saying, "I know people who
have actually seen inverted nipples and just ignored them believing it's going
to be okay. In your armpits, you can feel the lumps and the discharge. These
are warning indicators that are just waiting for you to notice them and take
action. Nowadays, women must take the initiative.
After the age of 40, she
claims that yearly checkups are very necessary. She continued by urging mothers
to inform their daughters about the possibilities and to be more alert to
common indicators.
