Breast cancer support

You may have seen news stories about a problem with breast screening invitations since 2009 that has affected many thousands of women who would be aged between 69 and 79 today.

We’ve created a dedicated page on our website www.breastcancercare.org. uk where: you can watch our minutelong video with Breast Cancer Care clinical director Dr Emma Pennery. People who are affected (or are worried they may be) can read more in the blog. Our free helpline is there Monday to Saturday on 0808 800 6000 to support people through this and any other breast cancer concerns they may have. Our Ask Our Nurses email service can provide expert support in writing. I know this is a deeply worrying time for many people and promise you that we will do everything we can to support those affected through it. Samia al Qadhi, Chief executive, Breast Cancer Care.
