The term\u2018PinkTober\u2019 has been surfacing all over the internet recently, in support of Breast Cancer
\nAwareness Month, which is commemorated during the month of October.
\nBeaconhouse School System has displayed its support for the awareness of breast cancer via organising
\nan orientation for its female high school students and staff. Dr. Nusrat Nisar and Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat
\nwere kindly invited to teach reliable information about breast cancer to everyone present, through a
\nrunning presentation of the topic as well.
\nAs both of the remarkable doctors explained, breast cancer is a disease that has staggeringly high
\nstatistics, particularly in the region of South Asia, where multiple factors contribute to its alarming
\nnumbers. Self-examination is crucial to detecting this cancer early on, and the invited doctors clearly
\nexplained the correct way of doing so.
\nThe orientation lasted a little over an hour, during which both doctors managed to relay vital information
\nabout the illness, e.g; what exactly it is, what are its signs, ways to prevent such a cancer, ways to detect
\nit, what risk factors contribute to its development, how is self-examination carried out, and more.
\nNearing the end, Major Dr. Faryal Sadaqat and Dr. Nusrat Nisar also answered the staff and students\u2019
\nquestions, leaving everyone satisfied with what they learnt after it was over. Shields of Honour were also
\npresented to both doctors, and everyone who attended the session received a pink ribbon with the word
\n\u2018PinkTober\u2019 on it, to wear on their arms and showcase support for the matter.
\nBreast cancer is nothing to be ashamed about, and by education and awareness only will we be able to
\nidentify and treat such a terrible illness. Beaconhouse will continue to support and educate its students
\non important global matters such as this, so that little by little, positive differences can be brought about,
\nstarting right here, from school. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
