To all the women out there, you have broken the proverbial glass ceiling.

And you have managed to do all this while taking care of everything and everyone around you.
The month of October is observed as the International Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer is identified as the most common form of malignancy among women around the world and has become one of the most common cancers in India. The overall outcome of this disease is largely dependent on early detection and medical intervention. Therefore, the most effective way to counter its impact is to conduct a self-breast examination regularly and become so familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts that any irregularity such as a lump can be detected in time.
As per industry reports, every four minutes, a woman in India gets diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet, most of the Indian women, including those who live in cities, tend to de-prioritize their health over other responsibilities. Because of it, there is an urgent need to push them towards a massive behavioural change. Women should be made to accord paramount importance to their health which includes recognizing anomalies in their bodies and bringing them to their doctors’ attention.
SBI Life Insurance launched ‘Thanks A Dot’- a Breast Cancer Awareness initiative, to persuade women to learn a life-saving skill that will help them enormously to fight a battle against breast cancer through early lump detection. Self-breast examination is one such life-saving skill that can enable women to spot the irregularities in their breasts and seek immediate medical help.
