October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s all about coming together to raise awareness, support research, and spread hope for everyone impacted by breast cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness Month was first recognized back in 1985, thanks to the American Cancer Society and AstraZeneca, and has since grown into a global movement focused on education and prevention.
While breast cancer primarily affects women, it’s important to remember that men can be diagnosed too. Although it’s less common, men should still be aware of the signs and make routine exams a priority. For both men and women, early detection is key. Regular mammograms and self-exams can catch any potential issues before they become more serious, giving you the best chance for successful treatment.
So, this month, let’s remind ourselves and our loved ones to schedule those screenings. Prioritizing health is one of the best ways we can take care of each other, and together, we can make a big difference in the fight against breast cancer.
