Breast Cancer
Welcome to the Mid-Kent Breast Cancer Research Appeal web site.
One in nine women suffers from breast cancer at some time in their lives. Our charity is helping to fight this disease by buying high tech equipment for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer.
Early detection is preferable but if cancer is not caught in the first stages do not despair, as there are a lot of treatments available and a very good recovery rate. New treatments and drugs to help patients become available all the time.
Another vital weapon in fighting breast cancer is a positive frame of mind.
May we remind you to:
- Check your breasts regularly every month
- If you do notice any changes to your breasts, or if you find a lump, please see your doctor as soon as possible. If necessary your GP will refer you to a specialist.
- It is natural to feel worried, but not all lumps are cancerous. However, they must be checked by a specialist as soon as possible.
- Visit the Other Useful Charities and Groups page to see where you can obtain advice and leaflets on breast cancer.
