21 Tweets Recognizing The Importance Of 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month'
With Breast Cancer Awareness Month underway, everyone has something to say, especially on Twitter. While we may not know each person behind the tweets personally, everyone is affected by the disease.
It’s important to realize how powerful the movement behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month has become over the years. We can’t prevent cancer, however, we can be proactive about taking care of our health.
Spreading awareness about breast cancer, especially throughout October, is key to early detection and saving lives. Sadly, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.

Every two minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. On June 21st, I became one of them. As we approach #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, I’m sharing my story as an important reminder to get screened. https://t.co/PH5NSUponN

Estimates suggest that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer at some point in their life – which highlights the value of familiarizing yourself with what is normal and abnormal for your breasts.https://t.co/q63fsPyyHY
I come from a family of breast cancer survivors. Daily checks are important for me. My grandmother is a 20+ year survivor and my mother is a 10+ year survivor. Watching my matriarchs fight the battle and win showed me their resilience and faith. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide.
Yet, early detection through screening as well as treatment can help improve survival rates.
It’s October again! Take a moment to remember this month the importance of Early Breast Cancer detection and spread awareness for every women’s health.#BreastCancerMonth
As the second most common cancer in women, breast cancer has affected thousands of Americans and their families. It can occur at any age; however, the risk rises as you get older. During this month, we aim to educate, empower those undergoing treatment, and support survivors. pic.twitter.com/rEMY4GXnCk

I was just reminded that it's Breast Cancer Awareness month, so here is where I beg people to get tested for genetic mutations if there's breast or ovarian cancer in your family. Especially if you're Ashkenazi Jewish — 1 in 40 of us have a BRCA mutation, myself included.
Cancer has become the biggest threat to our Firefighters and Paramedics. This month we remember our members impacted, we celebrate our survivors, and we fight with our members who are currently battling breast cancer. #local2cares#breastcancerawarenesspic.twitter.com/gQ0ze7aBgY
Pink October is not a fashion statement or trend and it’s never gonna be, it’s an appreciation of the women who fought. breast cancer awareness is not a trend it’s a movement.
