Every year, 56,000 people hear the words ‘you have breast cancer’. Sadly, not all breast cancer cases are preventable but over 30% of breast cancer cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes.
It’s time to take action to prevent breast cancer. Making small changes in your everyday life can help reduce your risk of breast cancer.
