�Get that lump checked out�

For many, a cancer diagnosis is as good as a death sentence. People live with symptoms and suspicions, but many are reluctant to test because they fear the outcome. Unfortunately, this is one disease where ignorance is not bliss, but fortunately, a breast cancer diagnosis is no longer certain death.

Breast cancer survivor, Malebogo Bakwena knows this first hand. She describes herself as living proof that if patients follow doctor’s orders they can survive the disease. Bakwena was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer in 2010 after years of suspecting she had a problem.
