SALAM!

i never thought that we have this huge number of women suffering from breast cancer here in Saudi Arabia!

till one day my cousin called and told me with a sad voice that her aunt have breast cancer i was like O_o ha! someone I know have breast cancer!

till i remembered! my best friend’s mom have it 2! i know 2 women who suffer from breast cancer!

so i thought, WOW it’s not a small number!! in the past 3 months, i was reading a lot about breast cancer online,

the #1 reason why this huge number of women in Saudi Arabia have it, is thinking that it’s soo hard for them to just go to a hospital for an hour, and do the breast cancer screening! so they discover it when they’re in stage || or sometimes |||!!! when it’s too late!!

and #2 our harsh harsh with no mercy heartless community!!!! GOD women are afraid of being sick! :s i think if “la sm7 Allah” i discovered that i have breast cancer. I’ll support and encourage everyone i know to go and check if they have it or not! I’ll help in campaigns and help women who share my pain! but i think most women in our community prefer hiding it and live with shame!!

i think every single mom should go for it!!! wallah it’s not just you! as a women! it’s your sister and your baby sun and you daughter!

my friend now seriously thinks that she WILL die with cancer :S and she will die suffering , why? ’cause her mom is suffering right in front of her eyes!

simple things i did

1- the s.s.h design ---> [link]
2- blog post ---> [link]

3- breast cancer support pink ribbon ---> [link]

how to support?

if each one of us took his\her mom,sister,wife,friend +35 years to check them self in a hospital. i think this would be good enough!
