Every year in the UK approximately 44,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and one woman in every nine is included in these statistics.  Approx.300 men are also diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK annually.

Whether you have been diagnosed with breast cancer or not, it is important to check your breasts on a regular basis for any changes.  The "Be Breast Aware" link above will take you to Breast Cancer Care's information page on how to look for changes in your breasts that should be reported to your G.P. or cancer hospital.
