Today is World Cancer Day and in 2013 the annual awareness campaign is focusing on myth-busting.
At Breast Cancer Care we know that one of the myths people with breast cancer often come up against is the expectation that as soon as their hospital treatment is over they’ll be ‘back to normal’.
A Parliamentary inquiry into how older people with breast cancer are treated and cared for wants people to come forward and talk about their experiences.
Breast cancer has received much news coverage in the last 48 hours with headlines claiming there is a ‘Drug that prevents breast cancer for 20 years’ (Daily Mail) and ‘500000 women to be offered breast cancer drugs’ (Guardian).
The unique insight and support of our trained one-to-one peer support volunteers is now available by email alongside the established telephone service.
Our latest cover star is Andrea Hull who modelled at Breast Cancer Care's London fashion show last year. Andrea was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer just two years earlier and explains how it felt to go from being a guest at the 2010 show to taking part in 2012.
