Physiogel Oncology Advocacy Event #ExtraordinaryWomen

     Every October, we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a whole month celebration where breast cancer patients with their relatives join together to spread awareness so that we can prevent breast cancer in the early stages. It's also a celebration of beauty and fulfillment for ladies with breast cancer who had survived the pain and the obstacles that they've gone through. In line with the celebration, I was very fortunate to attend the Physiogel Oncology Advocacy Event where they made breast cancer patients as their brand ambassadors and introduced them to media and bloggers and shared their stories with us last October 18 at Makati Edsa Shangri la.
