Cancer tales (From Barry And District News)

Cancer tales

I am going to meet my MP, John Smith at the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Campaign's and Advocacy Network's annual lobby of Parliament, and I want to take other readers' opinions with me to the meeting.

I am collecting details of experiences of local people about breast cancer services in the Vale of Glamorgan so I can tell Mr Smith and get him to campaign for improvements to services.

If you, your sister, mother, father, other relation or close friend has been affected by breast cancer, I would like to know about your experiences. Although improvements in treatment and screening services mean that more people than ever before are surviving breast cancer, more than 40,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.

All your opinions are valuable and together we can help to make services better.

If you can help me with any information about local breast cancer services, please call on 020 7025 2485 or email alicet@breakthrough.org.uk
