Dear list
There is massive increase in the number of cases of breast cancer and more
of younger women are getting affected. Because of neglect and ignorance
most of the women present symptoms beyond the earlier stage. There is an
equal risk of breast cancer for women with disabilities as it is for
non-disabled women. But the challenges we face for detecting, controlling,
and treating it are often greater than those of non-disabled women.
Unfortunately there are no information pamphlets for women with
disabilities. Knowledge of the symptoms and factors that contribute
towards it growth is important.The chances of getting breast cancer
sometimes increase more in women with disabilities because of certain
obvious conditions like obesity due to lack of mobility, lesser chances of
breast feeding etc.
Women with all kind of disabilities must be taught the Self Examination
techniques. If they are unable to do it their care providers should be
trained in it. . Breast self-examinations (BSEs) are a simple, private,
quick way of taking control over one's own breast health. The care
providers of women with learning and developmental disabilities have to be
given some extra tips.
Keeping in view the need to bring about awareness and dissemination of
information on this subject, I have come out with a handbook or the women
with disabilities. The book by the name of Keeping You Abreast, is
bilingual i.e. it is in English and Hindi. I have also tried to bring it
out in accessible formats i.e. in print form, audio books and e-book. It
is also available at Google Play Store.
