breast cancer awareness month

Oneida County is going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

It's natural to think that breast cancer only impacts women, but men are susceptible to the disease as well. A guy may not have breasts like that of lady, but breast tissue still exists. It's no doubt that more women are diagnosed than men, but the threat is real. According to the American Cancer Society, 440 men will DIE from breast cancer in 2016.

If you have a friend or family member who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be tough to know what to say or how to approach that person. Here are eight tips on how to do it.

Places all over country are "going pink" for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This police department in Western New York has taken "going pink" to a whole new level.

Here are seven breast cancer awareness charities that are most deserving of your support this month.

When it comes to the fight against breast cancer, not all pinks are equal. As we become more aware of the “pinkwashing” of America, we know that buying something in a shade of pink isn't necessarily doing anything to help the fight against breast cancer -- and some products can actually hinder it. That's why, as we spend our October supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, getting the word out and doing our individual best to fund the cause as we see fit, we need to make sure we're supporting the fight well. (And of course, looking good while doing it -- that's also nice.)

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancer.  About 1 in 8 women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime.

These eight tips could help you talk to a relative, friend or co-worker who’s dealing with some tough news.
