#MBC gets a day in a month of pink ribbons. The month is exhausting! People are dying every day from #MBC not just in October. Why can’t we find a cure? This year @InfiniteMBC has helped more women than ever, and you know what? One third are no longer alive. #stageivneedsmore

young people who report a lump are often dismissed. If you feel a lump or something weird get checked. It’s fine for the doctor to say ā€œ come back after your next period and let me checkā€ but it’s not ok to say ā€œyou’re too young to get cancer. Advocate for yourself!
