All A very useful info. Pl read on. The post did not get to the list. Harish Kotian
This is a forward from another list. Kanchan Dear list There is massive increase in the number of cases of breast cancer and more of younger women are getting affected. Because of neglect and ignorance most of the women present symptoms beyond the earlier stage. There is an equal risk of breast cancer for women with disabilities as it is for non-disabled women. But the challenges we face for detecting, controlling, and treating it are often greater than those of non-disabled women. Unfortunately there are no information pamphlets for women with disabilities. Knowledge of the symptoms and factors that contribute towards it growth is important.The chances of getting breast cancer sometimes increase more in women with disabilities because of certain obvious conditions like obesity due to lack of mobility, lesser chances of breast feeding etc. Women with all kind of disabilities must be taught the Self Examination techniques. If they are unable to do it their care providers should be trained in it. . Breast self-examinations (BSEs) are a simple, private, quick way of taking control over one's own breast health. The care providers of women with learning and developmental disabilities have to be given some extra tips. Keeping in view the need to bring about awareness and dissemination of information on this subject, I have come out with a handbook or the women with disabilities. The book by the name of Keeping You Abreast, is bilingual i.e. it is in English and Hindi. I have also tried to bring it out in accessible formats i.e. in print form, audio books and e-book. It is also available at Google Play Store.
