Support
A breast cancer diagnosis presents many challenges, and they're not all medical.

I've just been diagnosed
After diagnosis, you can take practical steps to prepare yourself for what’s to come.
This can include sorting out wigs and headwear and looking into breast prostheses. You could find out what financial support you’re eligible for, and decide what you need to talk to your doctor, your family, and your employer about.Patient information events
