Going for regular check-ups after the age of 20 is the best way to prevent malignant diseases, it was judged at "Pro-femina", a regional conference of "Ljepota i zdravlje" magazine, which was organized in cooperation with "Vijesti" at the "Ramada" hotel. The conference also discussed how prejudices shape our lives, whether it is better to "Stay or leave", about "What children eat" as well as "How much our appearance has become a priority".
TV "Vijesti" journalist Bojana Bojović Golijanin bravely shared her life experience related to the fight with a tumor in public for the first time.
She pointed out that when she found out about the tumor, she accepted that fact as if it wasn't happening to her and decided to deal with it, and that she had a strong motive then, which was her son.
"In Nikšić, which is a small community, and given that I am a public figure, there were a thousand questions, which I did not like at the time... Somewhere I think that when people hear that someone is suffering from a tumor, that person is immediately...buried" , said Golijanin.
She emphasized that the most important thing in the whole situation is the support of the family, as well as the way in which the doctor will communicate such news to the patient.
Psychiatrist Zorica Barac Otašević believes that it is most important to know yourself, to go for regular check-ups, and that early entry into treatment is the most important.
"Of course, the help of the family, the environment, as well as the doctor himself is very important," she said.
Salmin Salković, an oncologist from the Clinical Center of Montenegro, said that the disease is not always easy to detect.
"When it comes to a tumor on the cervix, the percentage of cure if detected at the beginning is 95 percent", he said and added that when it comes to breast cancer, out of 10 nodules, eight are benign.
Montenegrin society is patriarchal, so prejudices are present in almost all areas of life, said director of "Safe Women's House" Ljiljana Raičević.
According to her, there is a prejudice in our country that Roma are lazy, dirty, that if a woman is beaten by her husband, she likes him to beat her or that she deserved it.
"There are no sexual freedoms, no one thinks for a woman who suffers abuse that she is economically dependent on her husband and that's why she can't leave. There is constant talk about the rights of people with disabilities, but nothing concrete is done, they build a path or an inclined ramp, but where are these people employed?", Raičević said.
When asked "Stay or leave", entrepreneur Jelena Pavićević believes that you should always leave.
"Yes, we should go back, when we find out something somewhere, learn something, get an education, it's nice to bring it to our country and share it with our people," she said.
Leaving is always difficult, according to her, because "our people often think that somewhere out there everything is rosy, but it isn't".
Journalist Aleksandar Đurišić from Belgrade says that people never ask themselves in any segment of life the reason why someone decided to leave.
"For me, they say I left, it's 400 kilometers and half an hour by plane, but I may not be in a financial situation to afford it too often," he said.
Đurišić understands people who are "born, live and die" in one place, but he is not one of them.
He believes that everyone must have nostalgia for the place they are from because if they don't feel it then they have no morals.
"I'm sorry that people don't look at some things more broadly and sensibly, that someone who leaves, if he comes back, is not a loser, but maybe has something to bring with him. "Unfortunately, there is no place for those who leave when they come back without being judged, and my advice to young people who want to leave is 'Children, go,'" he said.
Actress Branka Stanić teaches her children to eat "from the floor" because she believes that children should be strengthened.
"The first time I entered the Academy and reached for someone else's glass, I was all drained because I lived in some strange conditions, that's why I strengthen my children. I'm not saying that everything children eat today is healthy, but in the end they somehow always push their own, so I hope that their bodies will use some of it in a healthy way," she said.
