If you discover changes in your body or something doesn’t feel right, should you see a doctor? The truth is, some people choose to wait, either because they brush off the severity of the symptom, or because they are afraid of a positive diagnosis. Over 400 women diagnosed with breast cancer were polled in a recent study conducted in the United Kingdom. The study found that almost one fifth of the women had delayed going to the doctor for a month after discovering a potential symptom. More shockingly, another 5% waited for more than six months. As medical professionals, we understand the fears of being diagnosed with cancer. It changes your life entirely.

Chemotherapy can be depressing, especially when you see your hair falling out day after day. Cancer will not go away on its own. The earlier you get diagnosed, the better your chances of recovery. Give yourself a fighting chance. Do not let your fears stop you from getting better.
