Your risk of breast cancer and what you can do about it

Social media platforms are playing an increasingly important role as a source of health information, but that role is twofold: they can provide support and information, but they can also spread misconceptions that fuel stress and anxiety. Issues are misrepresented, causing many people to feel unjustified fear. The spread of myths and misinformation about breast cancer on social media has an impact on how people view the disease. It reinforces fear and uncertainty and fuels irrational beliefs. It becomes difficult to see the forest for the trees.
