"My drawback with these cancers, is I don't know what else we can do as a group or individuals because we try to educate the public as much as possible, sometimes when persons' diagnosis reaches to a doctor, it's like stage three or stage four and that is very disheartening."
She urged the public to consult with the doctor as often as possible when differences are detected in the body, "Please check it out, it may could or look insignificant but in the end, it would save your life," Ms Fahie underscored.

Breathing over and over exhaled air turns into carbon dioxide, which is why we feel dizzy.
This intoxicates the user and much more when he must move, carry out displacement actions.
It causes discomfort, loss of reflexes and conscious thought.
It generates great fatigue.
In addition, oxygen deficiency causes glucose breakdown and endangered lactic acid rise.
Some people drive their car with the mask on, that is very dangerous, because, the stale air can make the driver lose consciousness.
It is recommended to use it only if you have someone in front or very close, and it is important to remember to lift it every 10 minutes to continue feeling healthy.
It is counterproductive for people who serve the public for 8 hours, as they are intoxicating themselves without knowing it.
All lives are important.! "
That prevention does not lead you to another problem ... let's use the mask knowingly.

A lot of positive cases were captured early through those screening and received treatment and continued follow up.
PSA test alone cannot diagnose prostate cancer. It is possible, but not always as there could be other causes for high PSA levels. That is why Digital Rectal Exam(DRE) is recommended to detect any abnormality. Men know your risk, speak to your Doctor or other health professionals, reach out to your Cancer Society for information, not the nay sayers.
I have always according to the screening guidelines, encouraged family members and friends to get tested. Get the facts. Protect your Prostate.
