Our impact

Right now, an estimated 600,000 people are living with or after a breast cancer diagnosis in the UK. And every year we lose over 11,500 lives to the disease. That’s someone every 45 minutes. We won’t stop until everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives – and is supported to live well.

When diagnosed, I felt completely lost but the support from Breast Cancer Now helped me to cope with the horror of it all.
