WELCOME

Welcome to the Beyond Cancer Charity website which will keep you up to date with our activities and how our fundraising is helping to support those with a cancer diagnosis and their families. We also hope to provide you with information about available services that provide a range of practical and holistic care and support.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Being breast aware simply means knowing what your breasts look and feel like normally, being on the lookout for any unusual changes and getting them checked out by your doctor. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chance of successful treatment. So it's important to check your breasts regularly and see your GP if you notice a change.

Breast Screening is available after the age of 70, but you will need to request this from your GP.

Most benign breast lumps are:

Areas of normal lumpiness that is more obvious just before a period

Cysts – sacs of fluid in the breast tissue, which are quite common

Fibroadenoma – a collection of fibrous glandular tissue (these are common in younger women, for example under 30)

Breast changes to look out for:

A lump or thickening in an area of the breast
A change in the size or shape of a breast
Dimpling of the skin
A change in the shape of your nipple, particularly if it turns in, sinks into the breast, or has an irregular shape
A blood stained discharge from the nipple
A rash on a nipple or surrounding area
A swelling or lump in your armpit
