Breaking the Myth! It’s a common misconception that breast cancer only affects women. However, the truth is that men can develop breast cancer too, although less frequently. Both men and women have breast tissue, which makes it possible for the disease to occur in either gender. Did You Know? Men make up about 1% of all breast cancer cases, with approximately 2,800 new male diagnoses estimated in the U.S. for 2024. 🎗️ Let’s raise awareness, break stereotypes, and encourage regular check-ups for everyone. Early detection saves lives, no matter who you are. From all of us at DoorMonk.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognise the profound impact this disease has on countless families. This year, we’re taking important steps to promote early detection. Our government has lowered the age for women to self-refer for publicly funded mammograms from 50 to 40, expanding eligibility to an additional one million women. If you’re eligible, please get tested. It could save your life! Learn more about testing and prevention here: https://lnkd.in/gAwfCY3q #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #GetTested #EarlyDetectionMatters
