In a heartwarming display of proactive health measures, several women visited the Class  Media Group's (CMG's) premises for the breast cancer screening exercise at its  Cantonments premises in the Greater Accra Region, sharing their experiences and emphasising the importance of regular breast checks.

The event, which aimed to promote breast cancer awareness and encourage women to prioritise their health, saw a diverse group of women participating in the screening.

Talking to Class FM's reporter, Esther Natal Missiham Baba, shared their opinions; for some, it was their first time undergoing a breast scan.

"It was my first time checking my breast, and I have to say, I was a bit nervous," said one woman.

"But after the scan, I felt relieved because everything was okay.

The doctors were very good, and I loved the experience."

 Another woman echoed similar sentiments, stating that the experience was fine and that she would encourage others to do the same.

"Checking your breast every month or year is a good thing to do," she said.

 For others, regular breast screenings have become a habit.

"I've checked several times because, as humans, you have to check your body," said a seasoned participant.

"I normally go for a scan anytime I hear of breast cancer screening to check if everything is okay with me.

It makes you feel comfortable and confident if you know you have no issues as a woman."

 The screening exercise highlighted the importance of breast cancer awareness and the role that regular screenings play in early detection and prevention.

By taking proactive steps to prioritise their health, these women are setting an example for others to follow.

 As one participant suitably put it, "Checking your breast is a good thing to do, and it can save your life.''

 With breast cancer being a significant health concern for women, we must continue to promote awareness and encourage regular screenings.

By sharing their stories, these women hope to inspire others to take control of their health and prioritise breast cancer screenings.

As the saying goes, "Early detection is key to survival."
