As this October comes to a close we would like to recognise the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
On average 56,000 women every year are diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the UK.
Roughly half of all breast cancers occur in women with no specific risk factors other than sex and age.
Breast Cancer was the most common cancer in women in 157 countries out of 185 last year.
The five year survival rate for breast cancer that is detected early and is localized is 99%.
66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage.
At London Bees we would like to take this chance to highlight the importance of this cause and highlight the relevant pages where you can find more information about Breast Cancer, the symptoms and treatments and what you can do to help.
