RYSE Health Advocacy • Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Our health deserves attention—not just in October, but throughout the year.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder to make time for screening, ask questions, and support one another through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. At RYSE Health Advocacy, we want every woman to have the information and access she needs to care for her breast health.

Breast Cancer and Black Women: Why Awareness Matters

The American Cancer Society identifies later-stage diagnosis and aggressive cancer subtypes as factors contributing to differences in breast cancer outcomes. The National Cancer Institute explains that triple-negative breast cancer is more common among Black women and tends to grow more quickly than other types of invasive breast cancer.

These findings highlight the importance of timely diagnosis, consistent follow-up, and access to quality treatment. Every woman deserves to have her concerns heard and receive the care she needs.

Know Your Risk. Make a Screening Plan. Follow Up.

For women at average risk, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends a mammogram every two years from ages 40 through 74. Some organizations recommend annual screening, and starting even younger in age. Your healthcare provider can help you choose a schedule based on your family history and risk.

  • Discuss your history. Share your personal and family cancer history with your provider. People at higher risk may need earlier or additional screening.
  • Speak up about changes. Contact your provider about a new lump, breast swelling, skin dimpling, nipple changes, or unusual nipple discharge.
  • Keep follow-up appointments. An abnormal mammogram does not automatically mean cancer, but additional imaging or testing may be needed.
