PINK MONTH IN Qatar - and my memories of fellow women

 

  Breast cancer awarness month in Qatar .  Why is it important to remember about this ? Though breast cancer is not as high in Arabic countries as in the USA - it is still killing women here too . Early detection and treatment can save 80 -90 % of those patients lives . 

On Saturday 17 October #QatarAirways’ ‘#ThinkPink’ flight QR9901, for female only passengers and operated entirely by women, took a special route to create the ribbon image above Qatar with its unique flight path being displayed in real-time by popular flight tracking sites. pic.twitter.com/BhaAWdOsay

MY MEMORIES

I remember about 30 years ago my best friend's mom fell with the bike then she felt something painful in her armpit . She went to see the doctor at once and it turned out that it had been breast cancer growing silently for a while . That fall was her luck because it helped the early discovery of the lump . She got the necessary treatments and she has been a survivor for more than 30 years now . Another story back then was the case of a very well educated woman . She was rejected by her husband even before her cancer . He left her for a younger woman . She just loved him too much and wished to gain his love again . When it turned out that she has breast cancer she refused the surgery for fear of losing that man forever .She died soon after and left behind two kids who were brought up by the grandma . Very sad story . But not uncommon that women choose the get no treatment for the fear of loosing a man . Dying rather than living without breast . When common sense does not work .When education does not help . Then there is a dire need of psychologist's help .
