National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is tomorrow, Oct. 24. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration created National Prescription Drug Takeback Day as a way to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of prescription drug disposal. It is also an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. It takes place twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. But you can drop off year-round at some locations.

Friday, October 16 is National Mammography Day! Tomorrow, all women who have not had a mammogram within the past 12 months are reminded to get one scheduled. Early detection of breast cancer can mean early treatment that may save lives. Advances in mammography mean today's mammograms offer more detailed images of breast tissue, making it easier to detect some types of breast cancer.

October 13 is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day! Metastatic disease is classified as Stage IV and indicates that cancerous cells have metastasized (spread) beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to distant sites in the body, most commonly, the bones, lungs, liver or brain. Although Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been recognized since 1985, it wasn't until 2009 that this day was officially declared to recognize those facing a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. The goal is to raise the public's awareness of the challenges faced by people living with Stage IV breast cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Each October, there is a renewed focus around the world to raise awareness about breast cancer and early detection. Treatment advances are offering cures for early-stage diagnoses, as well as helping people with advanced breast cancer live longer while enjoying a higher quality of life. Women are encouraged to do breast self-exams and have regularly scheduled mammograms. Men can get breast cancer, too, making it crucial they are aware of their risk factors and report any breast changes to their doctor. Schedule your next screening appointment now.

October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month! Hearing you have liver cancer is understandably troubling because the liver is indispensable to your body. Each year in October, groups aim to educate the public about the risk factors for developing liver cancer and the types of new treatments that are becoming available. Primary liver cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the liver. Cancer that develops in other parts of the body and metastasizes (spreads) to the liver is not primary liver cancer. It's important to recognize the difference between these two and the different treatment approaches required.

October is American Pharmacists Month. The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) designates October as American Pharmacists Month to acknowledge the invaluable contributions pharmacists and pharmacy team members make to health care. For people diagnosed with cancer, they may see an oncology pharmacist who is specially trained to understand the medications used to treat cancer and blood disorders. Medications to treat cancer are not always available at traditional pharmacies and must be supplied by a specialty pharmacy where an oncology pharmacist usually works.
