Dr. Nusrat Nisar and Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat<br \/>\nwere kindly invited to teach reliable information about breast cancer to everyone present, through a<br \/>\nrunning presentation of the topic as well.<br \/>\nAs both of the remarkable doctors explained, breast cancer is a disease that has staggeringly high<br \/>\nstatistics, particularly in the region of South Asia, where multiple factors contribute to its alarming<br \/>\nnumbers. Self-examination is crucial to detecting this cancer early on, and the invited doctors clearly<br \/>\nexplained the correct way of doing so.<br \/>\nThe orientation lasted a little over an hour, during which both doctors managed to relay vital information<br \/>\nabout the illness, e.g; what exactly it is, what are its signs, ways to prevent such a cancer, ways to detect<br \/>\nit, what risk factors contribute to its development, how is self-examination carried out, and more.<br \/>\nNearing the end, Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat and Dr. Nusrat Nisar also answered the staff and students\u2019<br \/>\nquestions, leaving everyone satisfied with what they learnt after it was over. Shields of Honour were also<br \/>\npresented to both doctors, and everyone who attended the session received a pink ribbon with the word<br \/>\n\u2018PinkTober\u2019 on it, to wear on their arms and showcase support for the matter.<br \/>\nBreast cancer is nothing to be ashamed about, and by education and awareness only will we be able to<br \/>\nidentify and treat such a terrible illness. Beaconhouse will continue to support and educate its students<br \/>\non important global matters such as this, so that little by little, positive differences can be brought about,<br \/>\nstarting right here, from school.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-509\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.23-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.23-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.23-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.23-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.23.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-510\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.21-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.21-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.21-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.21-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.21.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-511\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.18-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.18-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.18-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.18-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.18.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.17-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.17-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.17-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.17-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/451\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-21-at-07.33.17.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term\u2018PinkTober\u2019 has been surfacing all over the internet recently, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is commemorated&hellip;
