WOMEN IN TOUCH
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women worldwide, with there being a 1 in 8 chance throughout a woman’s lifetime that she will be affected. Yet this cancer is 90% curable when caught early, and if caught early 95% of women live more than 5 years following diagnosis.
At Breast Friends we aim to remove the myths from dealing with this disease, and help manage the fear to help you fight back!
