Introducing a free breast cancer information source made by a high school junior

The month of October is marked by all things pink to increase awareness about breast cancer, to show support to breast cancer survivors and generally to celebrate the strength of women through pink power. These symbols are usually associated with women and consequently breast cancer is not usually associated with men. But men get breast cancer, too.

Who doesn’t love pink? Klean Kanteen does it again with another beautiful combination of taupe-colored cap and Carnival Candy (or should we say Millenial Pink matte finish) of its well-loved TKWide 32 oz thermal bottle.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Philippines Commission on Women (PCW) is urging all "Juanas" to have themselves tested.

Last year, Filipino actress Julia Barretto made the news, not because of COVID-19 or the launch of a new show but because of her not wearing a bra. Her going braless at home sparked multiple reactions, good and bad, on social media. But if there is one thing to take from this is that many Filipino women can relate to her ditching the cups during the pandemic at-home life.

It’s still one of the leading cause of cancer deaths

The pink ribbon that you see being worn by many women this month is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. For many years now, October is when organizations around the world mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With the many programs aimed at early detection of the disease, many more lives are saved, some of them from the free mammogram tests offered by private organizations and corporations during this month.

You can call Clarissa a 'previvor'

The Department of Health (DOH) reminded women the importance of self breast examination for early detection of breast cancer.

October is breast cancer consciousness month. Here is good news for women (and men) who may be looking fearfully at the possibility of having breast cancer!

October, internationally observed as breast cancer awareness month, always meant a plethora of activities from fun runs to mall-based pop-up booths to raise awareness about breast cancer screening, as well as to raise funds for patients under treatment.
