Welcome to Fight Breast Cancer
Fight Breast Cancer Charity aims to overcome the challenge of breast cancer. The diagnosis of cancer remains a source of considerable anxiety and fear for most women. Speed is of the essence in this unpredictable cancer, which all too often takes women by surprise. Awareness with early detection, new treatments, good equipment, and on-going research help us to fight breast cancer. With early diagnosis and effective treatment, patients can have an excellent outcome.
Fight Breast Cancer Charity aims to expand its work into the community to allow all patients – locally or nationally and whether private or NHS, to have easy access to advice, financial help, and practical assistance. The charity will endeavour to provide for patients’ and their families’ urgent and immediate assistance, as this is sometimes lacking in other organisations.

Let us persevere with all leads for a cure, continue to look for answers in unusual places, test plants and mix chemicals in labs, until one day - we will have our Eureka moment.
