The Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💕✨
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign with the goal of raising awareness of breast cancer each October to increase awareness of the disease and raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
In October, and throughout the year, people wear pink ribbons to honor survivors, remember those who have lost their lives to the disease and support the progress we are making together to beat breast cancer.
There is much more to breast cancer awareness than wearing pink, however.
Considering that breast cancer is the number one most common cancer among women in the United States (other than skin cancer), there is continued need for women to be aware of the risks and what they can do to reduce the chance they will contract the disease.
Here are five steps you can take.
1. Get a mammogram
2. Learn about breast cancer
3. Know your risk factors
4. Lower your risk
5. Make others aware
The good news is that breast cancer rates have dropped in recent years and, thanks to early detection, the disease is more curable than ever. Still, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lifetime.
