Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We have a range of information about breast cancer on our website, which includes:

• types of breast cancer
• breast cancer symptoms
• breast cancer treatments
• breast cancer in men.

Checking your breasts for any unusual changes can help discover breast cancer early. It’s important to recognise when something’s not right.

If you are transgender or non-binary, read our cancer screening information to learn more about what types of screening are right for you.

If you find changes in your breast that are not normal for you, it's best to see a GP as soon as possible.

In this video, Phil and Nellie share their unique experiences of being diagnosed with breast cancer and discuss some of the common misconceptions around breast cancer.

Adjusting to everyday life after treatment can be difficult and take time. Our information and advice is available to help you when you need it.

Breast cancer treatments can have a direct effect on your sex life and ability to have children (fertility). Talk to your doctor or breast care nurse if you have any concerns as there are often things that can help.

Some breast cancer treatments such as hormonal therapy or chemotherapy can cause menopausal symptoms. Your cancer doctor and specialist nurse can explain if the treatment you are having is likely to cause an early menopause.
