Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day (October 13)
October 13 is nationally recognized in the U.S. as Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. About 168,000 women in the U.S. are estimated to have metastatic breast cancer (cancer that spreads beyond the breast to other parts of the body). Some researchers believe this number will rise to over 246,000 living with the disease by 2030. Despite the growing numbers of people living with metastatic disease, most money for breast cancer research doesn’t go toward studying it.

Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day seeks to educate the public about the challenges that people with metastatic breast cancer face and the need for more research — and more treatments — for this deadly disease.

The day also serves as a reminder that people can do all the right things — breast cancer screenings and all the recommended treatments for early-stage breast cancer — and still have cancer spread to other parts of the body. As sf-cakes, a member of the Breastcancer.org Community, shared, “Being stage IV during Breast Cancer Awareness Month sucks. All the messaging about ‘if you catch it early, you'll be fine,’ is simply not always true.”

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer (other than non-melanoma skin cancer) diagnosed in men in the United States. Furthermore, it’s the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men, after lung cancer, in the United States.

The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder and in front of the re**um. It’s about the size of a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of semen.

According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids. Prostate cancer often has no early symptoms. While advanced prostate cancer can cause men to urinate more often or have a weaker flow of urine, these symptoms can also result from benign prostate conditions.

screening and incidence
Screening options for prostate cancer, which include a digital re**al exam and a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), often catch the disease before it spreads. As a result, the five-year survival rate is 97.9%..

According to SEER, prostate cancer is more common in older men, men with a family history of prostate cancer, and in men of African American descent. Other risk factors for prostate cancer include certain hormones, vitamin E, folic acid, and a high intake of dairy and calcium. In the United States, about 12.9% of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point during their lifetimes.

Black men have the highest death rate for prostate cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. Statistics show that in 2018-2022, Black men were about twice as likely to die from prostate cancer as white men. Scientists believe the disparity stems from both genetic and socioeconomic factors.

September is recognized as Pain Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the impact of chronic pain and the importance of finding effective ways to manage it.

How Common Is Chronic Pain?
According to the CDC, about 50 million adults in the U.S. live with chronic pain, and nearly 20 million experience pain that interferes with daily life or work most days. Chronic pain can affect anyone—whether from arthritis, back pain, headaches, injuries, or other health conditions.

Why Pain Management Matters
Living with pain every day can take a toll on your physical and emotional health. It can make it harder to stay active, work, enjoy hobbies, or even get a good night’s sleep. That’s why managing pain is so important, it’s not just about feeling better in the moment, but also improving your overall quality of life.

Approaches to Pain Management
The CDC highlights the importance of safe, effective strategies for managing pain. These may include:

Physical therapy and exercise
Non-opioid medications
Stress management and relaxation techniques
Support from behavioral health professionals
Lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and good sleep habits
Every person’s experience with pain is different, which is why it’s important to work with a healthcare provider to find a plan that fits your needs.
