With Breast Cancer Awareness Month right around the corner, our timing couldn’t be more aligned. $BOOB creator/dev fees are going directly to Keep A Breast Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on prevention, education, early detection, and community support for people affected by breast cancer worldwide. They power tools like the Check Yourself self-exam app (in multiple languages) and fund grants for underserved survivors, turning awareness into action. The internet already gives $BOOB unlimited mindshare. We’re making sure that attention saves lives. #BOOB #KeepABreast #KnowYourNormal

@ngee_danielle Thank you for this powerful thread—it’s a wake-up call wrapped in compassion! That "put a finger down" challenge hit deep, reminding us how personal this fight is. The image of strength and beauty sets the tone perfectly, resonating with so many of us here in Nigeria and beyond.Your story about the lady who felt "off" without a lump is a game-changer. It’s those quiet whispers—nipple changes, dimpling, or swelling—that we often ignore. With breast cancer incidence climbing to 59.7 per 100,000 women in Nigeria and a mortality rate of 25.5 per 100,000 (often due to late detection), your call to listen to our bodies couldn’t be timelier. The American Cancer Society’s data backs this up: 99% five-year survival for early-localized cases versus just 32% when it spreads—early action saves lives!I’m putting a finger down for knowing someone fighting, and another for forgetting to check myself. This October, I’m committing to self-exams and encouraging my sisters, mothers, and friends to do the same. Let’s turn awareness into action—share this, check ourselves, and support each other. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #KnowYourNormal #ListenToTheWhispers
Put a finger down if you’ve lost someone to breast cancer. Put another down if you know someone fighting it. And another… if you’ve ever promised to check but forgot. October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. But this isn’t just about ribbons it’s about listening to the whispers. 💗

Across the world, millions of women and men are diagnosed every year. Early detection can change everything but only if we notice early. So check. Talk. Ask. Share. This October, let’s listen closer to ourselves and to each other. Because awareness isn’t pink. It’s personal. 💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #KnowYourNormal

Marloes found a lump in her breast and expected breast cancer. A quick referral and specialized testing identified that she was in fact a Phyllodes sarcoma patient. Hear her story. #KnowYourNormal #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025

We asked #sarcoma patients worldwide what first tipped them off, and two answers stood out: PAIN, and an unexplained, fast-growing lump or swelling. Don't downplay the discomfort. Listen to your body and #KnowYourNormal. 1/2

LMS begins in smooth-muscle tissue, often in the uterus, abdomen, or limbs. Common symptoms include vague pain/fullness, a lump, heavy menstrual flow or other bleeding. #KnowYourNormal: If something feels off, ask for imaging a referral to a sarcoma specialist. #LMSAwarenessDay

My name is Tracey. In 2019, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma after a year of foot pain. I kept pushing for answers, because I knew my normal. This saved my foot — and possibly my life. Learn more: ow.ly/ZwNj50WnBgi #SAM2025 #KnowYourNormal #Awareness #UntilTheresACure

Ever had a doctor tell you “It’s nothing”? What did you do? Seek a second opinion; keep a diary of symptoms; or bring a partner to your next appointment? Share how you made yourself heard. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025 #SarcomaSignsAndSymptoms #KnowYourNormal

Lakshay of @SachinSarcoma Society developed extreme pain in his leg while doing sports at university. The pain kept him up at night, so he went to the doctor. It took several doctors to get to the bottom of it. This is his story. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025 #KnowYourNormal

We are so lucky to have Kelli on our Board driving our Advocacy & Education efforts. #sarcomaawarenessmonth #knowyournormal #sarcomasignsandsymtoma
For years, Kelli's husband was told his back pain was just muscular tension and he was advised to get massages. Eventually Kelli pushed him to get the symptoms checked further and a massive tumor was discovered. @SarcomaIreland #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025 #SarcomaSignsAndSymptoms

The first place you go when something isn't "normal" is usually your family doctor. But few GPs can recognize the signs of sarcomas. #KnowYourNormal: Even if your doctor doesn’t suspect a serious illness, listen to your body and insist on clear answers. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth

Doctor‑day questions—screenshot these: 1️⃣ Could this be something serious? 2️⃣ Which tests should I get? 3️⃣ What if the symptoms are getting worse? 4️⃣ Should I see a specialist? Having questions ready keeps you in the driver’s seat. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025 #KnowYourNormal

Dr. Mitch of @NLMSF was having a normal day until the sudden onset of his symptoms after working out. A rush to the ER led to a biopsy that revealed his #leiomyosarcoma. You #KnowYourNormal, if something is wrong, don't brush it off. Get it checked out! #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025
