Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Care’s unique strength lies in the way we combine our profound understanding of people’s experience of breast cancer with the clinical expertise of our team of specialist nurses. Many of our staff and volunteers have had a personal experience of breast cancer. We care because we’ve been there and we know how to help.Last year...

• 1.9 million people sought information or support from our website
• almost 1 million copies of our expert publications were requested
• we answered more than 14,000 calls to our Helpline
• over 4,000 people used our face-to-face or other specialist services
• nearly 10,000 people attended local breast health workshops.

Last year we held the UK’s first ever Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day on 13 October. This year we’ll be marking the day again to recognise the needs and experiences of the estimated 100,000 people who are living with secondary breast cancer in the UK.
