October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer affects 2.4 million people worldwide. That is roughly 1 in 12 women. While 99% occurs in women, 0.5%-1% occur in men.
Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Today highlights stage IV breast cancer and the research needs. Metastatic breast cancer is a cancer that spreads beyond the breast to other parts of the body. There are a growing number of people living with this, yet most money for breast cancer research doesn't go towards studying it. Metastatic breast cancer is a deadly disease. You can do all the right things, from screenings and treatments and the cancer can still spread. Today we share the need for more funds for this kind of research.
Please make sure you are checking yourself and getting your screening done.
