The strongest teams stand together beyond the call of duty. 🚒

Firefighters know that trust, teamwork, and showing up for others matter long after the emergency is over.

Growvember offers another way to put that spirit into action: supporting conversations about cancer and showing solidarity with people navigating treatment-related hair loss.

Whether you’re part of a firehouse, department, or a close-knit crew, this is an opportunity to turn team pride into a shared purpose.

Challenge your crew to be part of Growvember. Build your team, choose your way to participate, and help make solidarity visible.

Solidarity can start with a simple conversation. 💚

Cancer treatment can affect more than a person’s health; it can also change how they look and feel about themselves. Small acts of support can help remind people that they don’t have to face the experience alone.

Growvember turns a personal choice into a shared show of support for people affected by cancer. It’s also an opportunity for healthcare teams to connect beyond their daily roles and bring their colleagues together around a meaningful cause.

Make your team part of something bigger. Build your Growvember team this October and take part in November.

Your family health history may offer important clues about your cancer risk.

Inherited changes in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 can increase the risk of certain cancers. Understanding your family history can help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider about whether genetic counseling or testing may be appropriate.

You don’t need to navigate these questions alone. Start by learning about your family’s health history and sharing any concerns with a qualified healthcare professional.

Knowledge is a powerful first step toward informed health decisions.

Not every breast cancer shows up as a lump.

Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare form of breast cancer that can look different from more typical breast cancers.

Instead of a noticeable lump, changes may include redness or swelling, rapid breast enlargement, changes in skin texture, or skin that looks dimpled or resembles an orange peel. These symptoms can develop quickly.

These changes do not automatically mean cancer; other conditions can cause similar symptoms. But if you notice unusual or rapidly developing changes, it’s important to talk with a healthcare professional rather than trying to diagnose the cause yourself.

Know more. Pay attention to changes. Get concerns evaluated.

Breast cancer doesn’t always begin in the same place. 🎗️

Did you know breast tissue contains ducts and lobules?

Ducts carry milk toward the ni**le.

Lobules produce milk.

Most breast cancers begin in the ducts, while others start in the lobules. Understanding this difference helps us better understand the complexity of breast cancer.

Learning the science behind cancer is an important part of building awareness and making informed conversations about breast health possible.

What if a breast cancer lump could be developing long before you ever felt it?

Breast tumors can grow slowly. American Cancer Fund notes that some breast tumors may grow for years before becoming large enough to be felt as a lump.

That’s why breast cancer awareness is about more than waiting for a noticeable change. Understanding your breast health, following recommended screening guidance, and discussing concerning changes with a healthcare professional can all play an important role in informed care.

Know more. Pay attention. Act early when something concerns you.

Can liver cancer surveillance begin before symptoms appear?

Yes, for people at high risk, doctors may recommend surveillance even when they feel completely well.
What might surveillance involve?

A liver ultrasound every six months, sometimes alongside an AFP blood test.

But surveillance isn't right for everyone. Your eligibility depends on your individual risk and medical history.

Don't wait for symptoms to ask questions about your liver health.

Know your risk. Talk to your doctor. Learn more.
