National Mammography Day is dedicated to raising awareness about the significance of mammograms as a vital tool in the early detection of breast cancer. Established by the American College of Radiology and the National Cancer Institute, this observance encourages women to prioritize their breast health by scheduling regular screenings.

Breast cancer begins in the breast tissue and can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, including the bones, liver, lungs, and brain. Metastatic breast cancer is the term used when cancer cells from the breast have spread to distant sites. This stage of cancer is often more difficult to treat and can lead to various symptoms that significantly affect quality of life.

Navigating a breast cancer diagnosis is a daunting journey, but no one should have to face it alone. 412 Thrive is a compassionate nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh that is dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by breast cancer and genetic mutations. With a mission to create a secure and inclusive community, 412 Thrive offers a variety of programs aimed at helping “Thrivers” through their treatment and beyond.
