Nilüfer Women's Choir promotes breast cancer awareness in Bursa

The Nilüfer Women's Choir Association in Bursa, Turkey, held an event to promote breast cancer awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The choir, which comprises 175 women aged between 37 and 80, mostly consists of retirees with no formal musical training.

To mark the occasion, choir conductor Dr. Aysel Gürel performed a song she wrote and composed titled ‘Meme Kanseri Olmaktan Sakın Korkma’ (Do Not Be Afraid of Having Breast Cancer). Members wore white shirts and pink flowers to symbolize the cause. The event emphasized the critical importance of early diagnosis, regular medical check-ups, and maintaining high morale during treatment.

During the event, choir member Selma Mert shared her personal experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018-2019 after discovering a lump, highlighting how timely medical intervention helped her through the process.
