Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Every October, people all over the world show their support for people affected by breast cancer. For months, coronavirus put many areas of breast cancer on pause. Now more than ever, we need people, communities and businesses across the UK to help support breast cancer research and care.
Lockdown this year has impacted health care services for cancer patients. For breast cancer patients in particular, NHS figures show a 60% drop in the number of cancer referrals during the lockdown period compared March/April 2019.
Cancer referrals are down in the UK by 75% which could equate to an extra 18,000 lives lost over the next 12 months due to cancer as a result of #COVID19 – Early diagnosis saves lives.
