About Living Beyond Breast Cancer

Living Beyond Breast Cancer has provided hope, education, and support for individuals diagnosed with breast cancer for over 30 years. Founded in 1991, LBBC offers resources and community for those affected by breast cancer at all stages of diagnosis and treatment. Their mission is to offer comprehensive programs and services that help people collect information, connect with others, and regain a sense of control in their lives.

One of LBBC’s primary goals is to provide reliable and easy-to-understand information on all aspects of breast cancer, from medical updates to wellness and mental health support. They do this through their website, support groups, webinars, and in-person events, like the annual Butterfly Ball. The organization’s reach extends beyond patients to caregivers, healthcare professionals, and advocates

Maxey Cosmetics is honored to support LBBC this October as part of our commitment to empowering women and raising awareness for breast health. Our partnership not only includes donations from every sale, but also the opportunity to contribute to LBBC’s flagship event, the Butterfly Ball. This special gathering is a celebration of resilience and community, showcasing the strength and spirit of breast cancer warriors.

When you support Maxey Cosmetics this month, you’re not just buying a product—you’re making a difference. Together, we can continue to uplift and empower individuals impacted by breast cancer, ensuring they have access to the care and resources they need to live life beyond their diagnosis.

The Importance of Breast Health

Breast health is a topic that often doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. Whether you’re in your 20s or 50s, it’s important to prioritize your well-being by staying informed, performing regular self-checks, and scheduling routine screenings. Understanding what’s normal for your body and being proactive about any changes are key steps in maintaining your health.

Why Does Breast Health Matter?

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women, but early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Regular self-exams and mammograms can catch changes early on, when they’re most treatable. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, women who detect breast cancer in its earliest stage have a 99% survival rate over five years. This means that taking small steps to stay informed about your breast health can have a huge impact in the long run.

How to Practice Breast Health Awareness

• Monthly Self-Exams: Conduct a self-exam at the same time each month to check for any lumps, thickened areas, or changes in shape and texture. Make it a part of your routine, perhaps in the shower or while getting dressed.
• Routine Screenings: Depending on your age and risk factors, schedule regular clinical breast exams and mammograms as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Know Your Family History: If breast cancer runs in your family, talk to your doctor about additional screenings or genetic testing.
• Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management all contribute to overall health, which can reduce the risk of many illnesses, including breast cancer.

It’s important to remember that everyone’s journey is unique. Staying vigilant and understanding the signs and symptoms doesn’t mean living in fear—it means choosing to take control of your health.
