We recently hosted #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay<\/a> on February 24, 2021, collaborating with 25 organizations to create a social media blitz. The goal was to empower women to find out their breast density, and IF they are dense to talk with their doctor about additional breast cancer screening.<\/p>\n

By any measure, the event was a big success. There were 700,000+ tweet impressions and views across four social media platforms. The likes, shares, comments, and retweets mounted up quickly over the course of the day.<\/p>\n

It was fun, exhilarating, and so worth the effort!<\/p>\n

While it is tempting to get excited about all of those social media views, it is important to remember it was never really<\/em> about the number of tweets, how pretty the posts were, or how many new followers we got. It was<\/em> about saving lives.<\/strong> Cuanto<\/strong> earlier breast cancer is detected and treated, the higher the likelihood a woman will survive the disease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Until we find the cure for breast cancer, early detection is the key to survival \u2013 and we can do better at early detection than our current standard of care offers women with dense breasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Empowering women with dense breasts to take charge of their own breast cancer screening is a must until what they need in addition to mammography becomes standard of care. We will keep doing what we do until every woman gets the breast cancer screening that is most likely to find her breast cancer \u2013 no matter how many tweets it takes!<\/p>\n

Events like this are never done in isolation. Lisa Baer<\/a>, Susan LePlae Miller<\/a> of Pieces of I, LLC<\/a>, Kim Penny<\/a> of Cyber Sizzle Media<\/a>, and all of our great partners<\/a> made it what it was!<\/p>\n

So grateful!

A few of the empowering comments from #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Thanks for posting the chart on breast density. It applies to my wife, and ever since your first post I\u2019ve been nudging her to make her (delayed) appointment for an annual check up. I lost my Aunt to BC. My mom was a 29-year survivor. Thanks for the nudge<\/em>.\u2019 \u2013 John H.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just went to the OB\/GYN this morning and have a prescription for a mammogram. I looked up my old mammogram reports, and they do say \u2018dense breasts\u2019. It is so scary. I\u00a0 always felt invincible, but not anymore. I will be talking to my doctor about what else is available to me\u2019.<\/em> \u2013 Sue L.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is great! After just going through my first mammogram experience, I now understand how this can be informative and helpful to women!\u2019<\/em>. \u2013 Elizabeth P.<\/p>\n

\u2018I knew I was dense, but never really understood what it meant!\u2019.<\/em> \u2013 Mary P.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yikes! I am a category D \u2013 extremely dense breasts. I knew that before but had no idea that made me a higher risk.\u2019<\/em> \u2013 Mary F.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
