October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a time to remember those impacted by the disease and promote early detection. Repeatedly, we hear the same questions and concerns from women about their breast health. Sugar causes cancer; underwire bras or shape wear shouldn’t be worn; don’t use deodorant; if there is no family history of breast cancer, I won’t get it; I’m too young to get breast cancer … we hear the same misconceptions over and over. Social media doesn’t help. Friends share fabricated cancer horror stories, and the epidemic of bad information intensifies. Everyone CHECK YOUR TITTIES because other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. If you want to learn more, check out breastcancer.org and please, if anything in or around your breast feels different to you or your partner, go to your doctor immediately. The sooner you are diagnosed the better. We have lots of tools at our disposal to live our breast life and empower ourselves (and each other) to make the best choices we can about our health.
