The charity offers practical information and support to all those concerned
about breast disease, be it the woman herself, her partner, family or friends.

with someone who lives nearby and has had a similar experience. Breast Cancer

professionals and the media. The charity's services include the following: - A free, confidential, national helpline (number above) offering support,
practical advice and medical information.
- One-to-one emotional support from a trained volunteer who has themselves
had breast cancer: this support can include telephone contact, face-to-face
meetings, hospital visits and contact with a local support group.
- Prothesis fitting service in Glasgow and Edinburgh which includes advice on
bras and swimwear.
- Information booklets and leaflets free to anyone affected by breast cancer:
