There is no doubt that getting to know your body is one of the important things you can do to prevent cancer. Let me share with you an experience of a Governor in Eastern Nigeria who had cancer and was able to overcome it.

One morning, he conducted a check on his body and noticed a small growth around his neck. He went for a checkup and the doctors satisfied him fit. Still, he traveled to Germany for another checkup. There too, he was given a clean bill of health. But, then he called attention to the growth on his neck. A test was conducted and it was discovered he had cancer and treatment were started. Fortunately, he overcame the disease

What helped him? You guess right. Early detection!

Many of us hardly check our body to know if everything is alright. However, if you’re attentive, you may detect the first signs of cancer in your body. It is important to check your breasts or testicles for any lumps in these areas. You should look out for any changes in texture. Just getting up close and personal with your skin can save your life.
