Sofia Ribeiro sharing the photo alert on the World Day Against Cancer – Daily News – Lisbon

The photograph serves to remember that the symptoms of breast cancer can be different from person to person and that being alert is key

In the World Day of Fight Against Cancer, the actress Sofia Ribeiro wanted to use your presence on social networks to raise awareness of the disease, disseminating a photograph taken in December 2015, before you begin the treatments against the cancer of the breast.

Sofia Ribeiro learned that she had cancer of the breast at the end of 2015, having begun the treatments in the height, in the fight against the disease that has been shared with the public through social networks.

This 4 of February used again this platform to talk about the disease: “Know your body, do your exams, keep an eye out for signs and seek a doctor if you notice any change. Having cancer is not a choice, prevention is. Bora do our part?”

The photograph serves to remember that the symptoms of breast cancer can be different from person to person, such as remember a campaign that has become very popular in recent years and who uses lemons to illustrate warning signs.

The actress is one of the 400 thousand Portuguese who have had an oncological disease in Portugal and survived – many continue, however, in treatments. If you factor in those who have had an oncological disease and who are already free treatments for more than five years, we are talking about 200 thousand, as said by the coordinator of the National Programme for Oncological Diseases, Nuno Miranda, to the DN.
