October is Breast cancer awareness month

I had wished today was yesterday, and yesterday was today. Imagine a Monday, a new week, a new month,new ideas and many other great things, but that is wishful thinking. It's Tuesday the 1st of October.
October is a very special month, I will tell you why.
In common years (not leap years) October starts on the same day of the week as January, but no other month starts on the same day of the week as October in a leap year.
In common years again, October ends in the same day of the week as February every year and January in leap years only.
Those are just the few I managed sampled, but there a so many. But there is this crucial fact you must know.
It's October, breast cancer awareness month. Actually I learnt that this morning via Lilian Muli,i did not know, thank you Muli.
That makes it special in a very special way. By just letting other people know some random facts about breast cancer you could be,creating awareness, saving a life.
For example, did you know that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime?
And that 1 case of breast cancer is diagnosed in every 2 minutes in the U.S? Not only that, but also it would be worth knowing that 1 woman dies every 13 minutes of breast cancer.
However, some of them will survive, but very few. In the U.S, there are 2.9 million breast cancer survivors.
What is this villain breast cancer? What causes breast cancer? Who gets diagnosed, why?
The most significant risk factors of breast cancer is being female and getting older.
This means that being female and getting older is a great risk. We should however note that men can also diagnosed with breast cancer, though at a much lower rate than women.
For example while it is expected that  about 39620 women will die of breast cancer in the U.S this year, only 410 men will die of breast cancer this year. With the increase in age, the risks also increase. In fact, most cancer cases in men occur at about age 65 and 67.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in African women just after cervical cancer among women.
What can be done about this killer?
We need to create awareness. People need to know.
Men shouldn't be ignorant, breast cancer affects them too.
Let's do away with myths and face the facts.
Myths like the one that the type of bra you wear increases your risks of breast cancer is completely unscientific. Neither the type of underwear nor the tightness are linked to breast cancer.
While it is a fact that a woman has an 1/8th risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer, it should be known that a woman’s chance of being
diagnosed with breast cancer is about 1 in 233 when she's in her 30s and rises to 1 in 8 by the time she’s reached 85.
Another silly myth is that women with smaller breasts have a lesser chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer. There is no direct link between the size of breast and your risk of getting breast cancer, but women with larger breasts may be hard to examine, however all women should conduct routine screenings and check ups.
