Breast self-exams were one of the most important lessons that were given to women recently, and most of the women who benefited from the Transformational Community Development (TCD) teaching were in dire need of the knowledge of how and when to self-examine. They learned to follow up constantly to avoid danger and to visit the doctor in a timely manner. Many women, after hearing the lesson, examined themselves at home. Some found abnormal things and went to the doctor to do the necessary work.

A lady named Sana shared, “After examining myself, I found strange things, so I told myself these are fantasies from hearing the lesson. However, I remembered the words of the lesson, that if you find abnormal things, you must visit the doctor and do not delay. I finally went to the hospital and did the necessary tests and mammograms, and the result was cysts in the breast. The doctor reassured me that the issue was simple and that it was good that I checked at the beginning. I was glad to hear the lesson and that I had overcome my fear and made it to the hospital in time. I told my sisters and my neighbors and taught them how to do a self-examination for themselves.”
