Starting the Road to Empowerment
Breast cancer is a preventable and curable disease. Despite the alarming statistics in the Philippines, the number of breast cancer survivors are also steadily increasing worldwide because of better disease awareness and the practice of regular screening that helps detect the disease at an earlier, thereby, more curable stage.

Understanding Your Breast


The breast is made up of a mass of fatty connective tissue on the chest muscle, and surrounded by skin, including the nipple. Running through the breast are milk lobules and milk ducts, which make breast milk for nursing mothers. Lying among the milk lobules and ducts is a network of blood and lymph vessels. These lymph vessels help our body fight infection, are connected to the axillary lymph nodes located in the armpit and to the internal mammary lymph nodes.
