October is Breast Cancer awareness month 💖

Breast Cancer is the number one most common cancer among women in the United States (other than skin cancer), there is continued need for women to be aware of the risks and what they can do to reduce the chance they will contract the disease 🎀

Here are five steps you can take⬇️

1. Get a mammogram 💟

The best way to find out if you have breast cancer is with a mammogram. A mammogram can detect cancer in its early stages, even before a lump can be felt, when treatment can be most successful. What better time than during BCAM to schedule yours. What are you waiting for?

2. Learn about breast cancer 📖

The American Cancer Society has dedicated a portion of its website to breast cancer information. That's a good place to start. The Susan G. Komen Foundation website has a comprehensive amount of information, as well.

3. Know your risk factors 📊

Risk factors include things like gender (men can get breast cancer too), age, genetic disposition, family history of breast cancer, and ethnicity. Lifestyle factors such as having children, use of birth control, post-menopause hormone therapy, and drinking alcohol also come into play.

4. Lower your risk 📉

While there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, you can take steps to lower your risk by getting regular physical activity, reducing weight gain by eating a healthy diet, and by avoiding or limiting your use of alcohol.

5. Make others aware 🫶🏻

Though it may not reduce your risk, making others aware of the need to lessen theirs, get a mammogram, and educate themselves will certainly put in you "in the pink.”

Speaking of taking steps, both the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen Foundation have fundraising events that involve walking.

The good news is that breast cancer rates have dropped in recent years and, thanks to early detection, the disease is more curable than ever. Still, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lifetime.

What better time than during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to take steps to learn about the disease, reduce your risk, get that mammogram that you have been putting off, and help make others aware of their need to do the same 🙌🏻 💕

PCOS is a hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive disorder that can cause menstrual cycle problems, weight gain, and other symptoms. It's the leading cause of female infertility and can also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, endometrial cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

PCOS is one of the most underdiagnosed diseases in the world, with less than 30% of women with PCOS being diagnosed.

Join us in the mission of creating awareness of this condition. Our primary goal is to support individuals affected by PCOS and increase awareness of its complexities. We aim to empower people with the knowledge needed to take charge of their well-being and combat the health complications associated with this disorder through educational programs and resources.
