A word of warning for women - from us, men
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:58 am
Unfortunately, a close girl friend was detected recently an ovarian tumour, we still hope for a positive diagnosis, I mean, we hope it is not a malignant tumour. We will know about it in the following days. She’s a great person, one of those rare beings working for mankind in humanitarian organizations, for free, and for years and years already.
My friend is quite an apprehensive woman when it comes to check herself in front of a doctor. This is, I think, a serious problem. Women detest to be checked in their intimate body, which is very understandable, but many of these metastatic cancers could be removed efficiently if they were detected in an early stage.
The problem is that many women will say something like “I will let it for tomorrow, I’ll go tomorrow”, and so years and years go by without a check. Tumours in general, in the ovarian area, do not bother the person until they get their advanced stage, when is already big and has involved part of “other organs”.
Despite the fact I understand that woman can feel shy in front of a doctor checking their intimate parts, we men, should encourage and even positively persuade them to do the proper tests every year. If we do so, we will contribute in kipping them save.
To have an unpleasant moment every year compared with the risk of having a cancer tumour, is nothing really, it is worth the effort.
