Ask our Nurses is a confidential service. This confidentiality is maintained between clients and Breast Cancer Now and the Ask Our Nurses team in the first instance. Learn more about our confidentiality agreement. You can read about how we use your personal data and how we keep your data secure in our privacy policy.

We ask that you give as much information about yourself and your situation as you can. It will help us to reply as fully as possible.

We usually aim to answer emails within three working days, but we often respond much sooner than this.

We are unable to respond to queries from people receiving breast cancer treatment outside the UK as there are differences in health services and care in other countries.

We will be closed on Monday 29 August due to the bank holiday.

If your question is about coronavirus and breast cancer or breast health this section of our website might be helpful.

We have put together some information about coronavirus and breast cancer. Please read to see if the answer to your question is there before using this service.

About you
Would you like a nurse to contact you by phone?
For us to give you a full answer quickly, it’s often easier if we talk to you on the phone, instead of emailing you. Our number is withheld for confidentiality purposes and will appear as Unknown when we call you. Calls may be monitored or recorded for training or quality purposes. Please note, we are a UK based charity and aren’t able to make phone calls to international numbers.
