 Nasim Panjwani writes about her experiences of breast cancer and the need to raise awareness about it. Often when you hear somebody has fallen ill, died or is suffering, the reaction from most of us is sympathy. Yet this good trait does not always translate into empathy, of actually understanding what the person or persons are enduring. Some may term this as human nature and others may say it is not possible to truly understand the sufferer. However, this misconception must be eradicated. There is an urgent need to raise awareness about illnesses, specifically breast cancer in this article, for its religious, medical, psychological and social effects are diverse and dramatic. Isolation, anger, lack of information and health support, fear of death and a test of faith are only some of these effects. |
