🎀💗🎀💗🎀💗🎀💗 It’s #breastcancerawarenessmonth And I spread awareness because I have had a cancer scare myself 😢 A monthly breast #exam can save your life 🙏🏽 #Prevention and #detection is KEY 🔐 In February 2015, during my #monthlybreastexam, I found a lump in my left breast called a #fibroadenoma. I freaked out!!! But here’s what to do so you don’t freak out: 🎀 Make an appointment with your gynecologist 🎀 They will refer you for a mammogram 🎀 Get the mammogram and follow their instructions THEN I needed to figure out some lifestyle changes. Mine include: 🎀 No antiperspirant OR deodorant 🎀 Eating a healthy diet 🎀 Exercise 30 minutes a day 🎀 Drinking 1/2 my weight in ounces of water daily 🎀 Minimizing my daily exposure to chemicals 🎀 Give cancer a terrible host 🙌🏾 🎀 A fibroadenoma feels like a firm, smooth, or rubbery lump in the breast with a well-defined shape. It's (USUALLY) painless and moves easily when touched. Mine HURT to the touch especially during my cycle. It started off as a pea size and grew to the size of a large jelly bean by 2020. And it got evicted during a surgical procedure on 6/10/2020 💯 The pathology report came back normal and it wasn’t cancerous - just a slow growing, very fibrous cyst 🙏🏽❤️✝️ I share my story and my lifestyle because I care about you and the things you might be going through, too. I also share because I had no clue what to do. I was scared and that’s no fun. I hope you never find anything in your monthly #breastexam... but if you do? Now? You’ll know exactly what to do!!! 🙌🏾🎀🙏🏽 🤓 Join us in Farasue’s Garden™️ to grow healthy hair you love 😘 Good business always in ALL ways 👸🏽 🌱🍋🌿🍋🌞🍋🌵🍋🌳 #Perfectlyimperfect, 🦋@Farasue 🦋 #farasuesgarden #farasue #pescabacontarian #putyourhairtobed #endsbutter #liquidsunshine #beardbutter #naturalhair #putmyhairtobed #goodcaregoodhair #healthyhair #blessed #haircareproductsthatwork #ilovemyhair #bighairdontcare (at Sprinkles Cupcakes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI0nF5lWOr/?igshid=1rgxv7fbe8jzt
