At the beginning of last year, Facebook users frantically set out to share a red heart for breast cancer awareness. While a brave woman chose to explain why a "pretty red heart" would not help save lives.
Erin Smith Chieze posted the photo above on Facebook, explicitly describing the look and feel of a breast with cancer, this photo went viral for all the right reasons. In response to all the red hearts that Erin saw on Facebook, she emphasized the importance of these lemons.
"In December 2015, when I saw a brand that looked like one of those pictures, I immediately realized that I had breast cancer," she wrote. "I tried to feel my breast to find a tumor, but my tumor was not palpable.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer five days later and stage 4 the following month. A red heart did nothing to educate the public including me. I knew what breast cancer was. I knew everything about self-examination, but an image of what to look for in our breasts helped me know that I had a terminal illness. "
She added, "We should be providing REAL information, not pretty hearts. Without having seen this picture by chance with real information, I would not know what to look for. Do us a favor, stop taking life lightly and start really helping people. Research on the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and large-scale sensitization is needed. "
As a result of a deep sense of frustration generated by the myriad of red hearts on Facebook, Erin took matters into her own hands and posted her moving story in order to save lives as a similar photo helped her to detect his cancer. This photo is part of the "Know Your Lemons" or "Know Your Lemons" campaign launched by the World Breast Cancer Organization . This is an incredibly informative graphic that men and women should use for regular self-examination.
Detect breast cancer ...
"PLEASE, stop playing ridiculous games that do not help to raise awareness of the world, on the contrary they often push people away from anything that might even mention the word" awareness ", writes Erin. "So, if you really want to help people with cancer or those who are prone to cancer, share without hesitation photos like this. "
