“Let Your Men Play and Massage It for Early Detection” — Apostle Dr. Samuel Amagashi Urges Women During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In a passionate appeal to promote early detection and prevention of breast cancer, Apostle Dr. Samuel Amagashi, Chief Executive Officer of the Dr. Amagashi Herbal and Spiritual Center, has encouraged women to involve their husbands or male partners in regular breast massage as part of early screening and health awareness.

Speaking to journalists during a breast cancer awareness outreach in Kumasi, Apostle Dr. Amagashi emphasized that breast cancer remains one of the most dangerous yet preventable diseases affecting women globally, particularly in Ghana, where many cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. He said the fight against the disease requires innovative, open, and inclusive approaches that make awareness a daily lifestyle rather than a seasonal campaign.

According to him, the home is the first place where awareness and prevention must begin. “Women should allow their men to play and massage their breasts regularly, not just for affection but also for health reasons,” he said. “When a husband or partner touches and massages the breast, he may notice any unusual lumps, hardness, or changes earlier, which could lead to prompt medical examination and early detection.”

Dr. Amagashi explained that breast massage enhances blood circulation and helps stimulate the lymphatic system, which is essential in clearing toxins that may lead to cell damage. He said the process should be seen as a health-conscious and loving act rather than one driven purely by pleasure. “It is time couples understand that health and intimacy can go hand in hand,” he added.

The Apostle, known for combining faith-based healing with scientific health awareness, stressed that the campaign against breast cancer cannot be won by women alone. He urged men to take active roles in supporting their partners, reminding them that early detection is the most effective way to save lives.

“Many women in Ghana only discover breast cancer when it is too late. But if partners are encouraged to take part in simple preventive checks at home, many lives will be saved,” he stated. “This should not replace medical screening but complement it. Regular hospital checkups are still very necessary.”

Dr. Amagashi also called on pastors, imams, traditional leaders, and women’s associations to use their platforms to spread awareness about breast health and encourage open conversations about the disease. “Faith leaders should not shy away from talking about breast cancer. Our churches and mosques must become channels of health education because saving lives is also part of ministry,” he emphasized.

He further advised women to know their own bodies and report any unusual changes such as swelling, nipple discharge, or pain to a qualified medical practitioner. He also appealed to the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service to intensify education in rural areas where ignorance and fear often prevent women from seeking timely care.

Apostle Amagashi, who has championed numerous health campaigns across the Ashanti Region, said his organization is committed to supporting breast cancer awareness through community outreach, herbal education, and counseling. He believes that a combination of traditional wisdom, modern medicine, and spiritual support can bring hope to those battling the disease.

“Let love lead, and let care save lives,” he concluded. “Allow your men to play and massage your breasts for early detection — it’s not only an act of love but also a step toward saving your life.”

As October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Apostle Dr. Samuel Amagashi’s bold yet health-centered message adds a unique dimension to the national campaign — one that emphasizes shared responsibility, openness, and the power of love in promoting women’s health and early cancer detection.
