Cancer Research Appeal
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK and almost 46,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Sadly more and more people are being affected from the consequences of the disease either directly, or indirectly, through people they know and love.
The good news is that the number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to less than 12,000 for the first time in almost 40 years.
Thanks to improved detection and better treatments, more people are beating breast cancer than ever before and now 8 out of 10 breast cancer patients survive beyond five years.
