The best part is that it’s really easy to get involved and make a difference.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, with one in eight women being diagnosed in her lifetime. While breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, there are still over 3.5 million survivors alive in the United States today.
When women are aware of their family history and are performing regular mammograms, they have the best opportunity to diagnose quicker and have a higher survival rate.
• Share educational content on social media
Much of that increase in survivors can be credited to Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is a worldwide campaign that highlights the importance of year-round education, early screenings and detection, and raising funds for pivotal research and improved treatment options. The National Breast Cancer Foundation has reported a rise in funding almost every year for nearly a Accordingdecade. to regiscollege.edu, online activity like Google searches related to breast cancer increases significantly each October.
