Welcome to episode 28 of unsweetened and unfiltered.

As many of you guys already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we decided to dedicate this episode to shining some light on this issue that affects so many women

across the world. And do you want to share that number of how many women it actually affects

in America, which is literally one in eight women? How many family members? How many cousins?

How many friends do we have? Imagine one in every eight of our loved ones has breast cancer,

has a chance of having breast cancer. That's so scary to think about, but it's something that's happening.

And I think it's so important that we realize the signs and what to look out for, how to

test ourselves both in a doctor's office and at home.

Even in the most general terms, breast cancer is a cancer that develops from breast tissue.

And just like you said, Zena, there are signs.

And some may include like a lump in the breast,

a change in your breast shape, dimpling of the skin, which our guest is going to actually

talk about. Sometimes there's also fluid that may come from your nipple, a newly inverted

nipple, red or scaly patch of skin. Look, the signs go on and on. But the most common denominator

is, is just for you to look at your

body and to see if there are any changes, know that that's a red flag. Oh, absolutely. We need to

start paying attention to our bodies. I feel like we kind of ignore certain things. Our body

sends us signs and we kind of push those signs to the side because of our busy life, because of our work

schedule, because of our friends and family, and we have to maintain a social life.

But you guys, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, not just in America, but around

the world.

I think we had this misconception that, oh, we're healthy.
