Breast Cancer Education & Awareness
It is the most common cancer in the UK. 25% of breast cancer cases are preventable, and more than 76% of people survive for ten years or more!

Regularly checking your breasts is important for maintaining good breast health. By doing self-exams, you can become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts and be able to detect any changes or abnormalities.
Early detection of breast cancer is key to successful treatment, and self-exams are an important part of that process. It's recommended that women perform breast self-exams monthly and receive regular mammograms as recommended by their healthcare provider.
Don't hesitate to speak with a healthcare provider if you notice any changes or have concerns about your breast health.

Breast cancer can be treated through a variety of methods, including surgery, radiotherapy, and drug therapies such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Additionally, targeted therapies, which include biological and immunotherapies, are often used to specifically target cancer cells and improve treatment outcomes. These treatment options may be used individually or in combination, depending on the stage and type of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health.
