With Breast Cancer Awareness Month underway, everyone has something to say, especially on Twitter. While we may not know each person behind the tweets personally, everyone is affected by the disease.

It’s important to realize how powerful the movement behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month has become over the years. We can’t prevent cancer, however, we can be proactive about taking care of our health.

Spreading awareness about breast cancer, especially throughout October, is key to early detection and saving lives. Sadly, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.

  Don't hesitate,
  if you feel any swelling,
  get it checked.
  Not all swellings are cancerous
  but early detection of a swelling
  makes cancer more curable. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth pic.twitter.com/S89hS1FiHv

  I come from a family of breast cancer survivors. Daily checks are important for me. My grandmother is a 20+ year survivor and my mother is a 10+ year survivor. Watching my matriarchs fight the battle and win showed me their resilience and faith. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

  I was just reminded that it's Breast Cancer Awareness month, so here is where I beg people to get tested for genetic mutations if there's breast or ovarian cancer in your family. Especially if you're Ashkenazi Jewish — 1 in 40 of us have a BRCA mutation, myself included.

  Pink October is not a fashion statement or trend and it’s never gonna be, it’s an appreciation of the women who fought. breast cancer awareness is not a trend it’s a movement.
