🩷Breast Cancer Awareness Month
To every fighter still in the battle, every survivor shining with strength, and every soul we carry in our memory-this month is a promise to honor the lives lost, uplift the warriors still fighting, and never let go of hope's hand. 🩷💪
Breast cancer death rates in the United States have dropped by 44% since 1989.
That’s not a coincidence. For 40 years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has helped raise awareness of breast cancer across the nation. It has encouraged millions to take action, resulting in increased early detection and advancements in treatment that have saved more than half a million lives.
Breast cancer touches millions of lives every year, making awareness and education essential tools in the fight against this disease. In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime, and in 2025 alone, nearly 317,000 women and 2,800 men are expected to hear the words, “You have breast cancer.”
Yet with early detection and advances in treatment, there is real hope: when caught at a localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 99%, and today there are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. These numbers remind us that while the disease remains a serious threat, progress continues to save lives every day.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve gathered trusted resources, facts, and stories to empower you—whether you’re learning about prevention, navigating a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or finding your way forward as a survivor. Knowledge is power, and understanding the realities of breast cancer is the first step toward action, advocacy, and healing.🩷🩷
