A number of senior consultants also spoke, highlighting the symptoms and causes as well as importance of getting checked to prevent breast cancer. The event was followed by a grooming session for breast cancer survivors where they were offered health and personality grooming tips by a panel of highly experienced beauticians, dilatations and senior oncologists. Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Samina Alvi stressed on the point that breast cancer not just disturbs a woman’s life but rather shakes up an entire family.
