🎗️ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

💗 Did you know? Breast cancer affects both women and men.

🇺🇸 In the United States:
• About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime.
• About 1 in 755 men will develop breast cancer during their lifetime.

🌎 Worldwide:
• Approximately 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022.
• About 0.5–1% of breast cancer cases occur in men.

Knowing your risk, talking with your healthcare provider, and staying up to date with recommended screenings are important steps toward protecting your health. If you notice a new lump or unusual breast changes, seek medical advice.

💗 Share this reminder with someone you love. Early detection matters!
