There are many reasons why our breasts can become painful at times. Breast pain is actually very common, affecting around two-thirds of women in their lifetime.

For many of us life is stressful, trying to juggle, home, work, childcare and maybe a bit of a social life too but imagine adding a cancer diagnosis into that mixture.

As we begin to approach the festive season you may find yourself being invited out to celebrate the upcoming Christmas season, but please don’t panic, no one is expecting you to feel fabulous or want to dress up if you are going through treatment.

Breast cancer treatments affect people in different ways. While attacking the cancer and helping to preserve life, they can also impact our skin, nails, and hair – it’s rubbish we know.

When you first receive your diagnosis of breast cancer naturally a million and one things will run through your mind.

Did you know that approx. 300 people are seen in the Primrose breast care centre at University Hospitals Plymouth every week and whilst the appointments often vary the worry & anxiety of those attending their appointment are often very similar.

We often hear that after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis life can change you in many ways, not just physically but your outlook on life too.
