She finds out she has breast cancer thanks to this Facebook post
But how many hours do we waste spying on our contacts on the phone? We check who posted what and, perhaps, send screenshots to our friends updating us on the latest gossip about the guy taking the yoga class with us.
Sherrie Rhodes, an English woman mother of three children, discovered she had breast cancer thanks to Facebook and for this reason she decided to share her experience on social media. In general, it is good to always be informed about the possible symptoms:
Sherrie had noticed dimples on either side of her breasts but hadn't given them any weight, convinced it was nothing to worry about. But when she realized that other women were in her condition she ran to get checked and thanks to this she discovered that she had breast cancer.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. It was totally unexpected because the dimples you see in the photo are the only symptom I have. I realized this in late June, two days later I went to my gynecologist who advised me to see a specialist. I went there about one. week ago and I had an x-ray taken which revealed the presence of a suspicious mass, then I had to have a mammogram and, later the same day, a biopsy. I wasn't very worried as I didn't have any lumps or anything like that. Unfortunately it is it turns out that I have breast cancer.
Check your breasts regularly and don't ignore their changes, if you hadn't seen a post like this I'm writing I would never have imagined that these dimples could be symptoms of a tumor.
Please share and raise awareness.
Breast cancer is a battle that many find themselves fighting in spite of themselves. It affects one in eight women, usually late in life, and prevention is needed to defeat it. We start with self-examination and then, in case of doubts, it is always good to go to a specialist so that he can guide us.
Sherrie was struck by the love people are showing her on this journey to recovery. Posting the photo of her breasts was difficult for her, she didn't want to showcase herself, but if sharing can help save a life, she has no doubt that this was the right choice to make.
Fights like this deserve to be remembered.
