There is no denying that treatment for breast cancer can change the way your body looks.

The Primrose Breast Care Centre, based at University Hospitals Plymouth, brings together Surgeons, Radiologists, Radiographers, Nurses, and an administrative team all focussed on the diagnosis and treatment of breast care, including cancer. All staff are there to support anyone who is referred to the service.

Thanks to grant funding from the Plymouth Octopus Project, we will shortly embark on a new project called The Breast Cancer Care Collective which will initially bring together three of the city’s cancer care organisations, The Primrose Foundation, Roots to Rise CIC (Community Interest Company) and Dance for Life Devon CIC (Community Interest Company) to support those affected by breast cancer at any stage of diagnosis, treatment to remission.

With breast cancer affecting every 1 in 7 women, it’s time to pay more attention to your breasts and the areas around them. It's time to LOVE yourself enough to be breast-aware.

Breast cancer is a disease that affects millions of us worldwide. Any individual with breast tissue from any race, religion, ethnicity and any sexual orientation can develop breast cancer.

Making a cast of your breasts can be an emotional experience, especially if you are shortly going to have breast surgery such as a mastectomy.
