NHS Screening, including breast cancer screening, helps to detect cancer at an early stage. This is usually before any changes are seen or felt. Please attend your appointment when invited.

Great post by Breast Cancer Now. What are the common signs of breast cancer? Check out the post below.

There’s been a lot of chat about lumps recently, but do you know the other signs of breast cancer?

Checking your breasts is as easy as TLC:

Touch your breasts: can you feel anything new or unusual?
Look for changes: does anything look different to you?
Check any new or unusual changes with a GP

Get used to checking regularly and be aware of anything that’s new or different for you.

It's the festive season when people are winding down and looking forward to the Christmas and New Year break. But, amidst all the fun and cheer, don't forget to check your breasts!

It’s December!
….so time for…..

Pinch Punch, 1st of the month.
Time for your monthly breast check boys and girls!

Whatever your age, size or shape it's important to get to know your 'normal' and be breast aware.

Please share with your pals, Mum, Dad or your neighbour - it's never too early to start checking your breasts. 💕

As a small, independent, registered charity, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have been running for over 30 years but still need to get the Bosom Friends name out there - we can’t support those with Breast Cancer if they don’t know we exist!

Our group is 100% run by volunteers, who have all had a breast cancer diagnosis themselves. We find this is extremely beneficial, as we have a great understanding of others fears and apprehension.

Please like our page, if you haven’t already,
Invite your friends and share our posts.
(PLEASE don’t screenshot - or if you do TAG US so people know we’re here!)

Even better if you use the ❤️ or 😮 reactions on our posts to help them get seen more.

Thank you 💕
