the ad was trying to say...

Hm... referring to my previous post on the breast cancer advertisement, I think it was a really good and very impacting advertisement. I'm glad at least Bernat understood the ad. Anyway, I think you, the readers or my blog, especially Happy IQ and Bottle, needs some education on breast cancer.

To understand the advertisement, you have to understand Brest Self Exam (BSE). In the lesson on BrestCancer.org, the first step to BSE is

Echo ("Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Here's what you should look for:
* breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color.
* breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling.
");

So, what the ad was trying to say is that if women spend more time examining their breast as often as horny ah pek checking boobies out, more women would have detected breast cancer at the early stage and would have higher chances of surviving it.

Anyway, if you think this do not interest you because you don't have breast and can't care less, then you might want to check this other cancer out. And one more thing, who says men can't get breast cancer?

Some additional info, there's are four stages in breast cancer.
Stage 1 : The tumour measures less than 2 centimetres across. The lymph glands in the armpit (axilla) are not affected and there are no signs that the cancer has spread to elsewhere in the body.
Stage 2 : The tumour measures 2–5 centimetres across, or the lymph glands in the armpit are affected, or both. However, there are no signs that the cancer has spread further.
Stage 3 : The tumour is larger than 5cm across and may be attached to surrounding structures such as the muscle or skin. The lymph glands are usually affected, but there are no signs that the cancer has spread beyond the breast or the lymph glands in the armpit.
Stage 4 : The tumour can be of any size, but the lymph glands are usually affected and the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This is secondary breast cancer.

And there are three grades: Grade 1 (low grade), grade 2 (moderate grade) and grade 3 (high grade). Low-grade means that the cancer cells look very like the normal cells of the breast. These cancer cells are usually slow-growing and less likely to spread. In high-grade tumours the cells look very abnormal. They are likely to grow more quickly and are more likely to spread.
