This advice was given at a webinar organised by Polaris Bank in Lagos. The event was part of activities lined up by the Bank to commemorate the breast cancer awareness month themed: “The Brave Conversations: Diagnosis and Remedy.”
The webinar which held recently focused on the objective of creating a heightened awareness of breast cancer with a view to stimulating conversations around the scourge. The session featured three speakers; leading authorities in breast cancer awareness and treatment and a survivor. The speakers were; Dr. Anthonia Sowunmi, a pioneer clinical and radiation Oncologist in Nigeria with over 20 years’ experience in oncology; Mrs. Ebunola Anozie, Founder and CEO of Care Organization Public Enlightenment , a comprehensive cancer resource provider for women, students, breast cancer survivors and caregivers in Nigeria and Mrs. Semira Oguntoyinbo, a cancer survivor.
In her contribution, Polaris Bank’s group head, Products and Market Development, Mrs. Adebimpe Ihekuna who moderated the session, noted that the womenfolk have to be intentional about regular and consistent check-ups as outlined by medical experts. She noted that it is through such process they could detect early enough lumps in their breasts – which could either be benign or cancerous – for early intervention and treatment.
On her part, Mrs. Anozie, reminiscing on how she lost both her parents to cancer, thanked Polaris Bank for their support for COPE over the years. She noted that Polaris Bank right from inception, provided COPE with the necessary equipment including the provision of scanning machines and the sponsoring of free screening for women.
