Breast Cancer Donations

It seems like almost every day we hear about a new breakthrough pill for breast cancer. All these drugs cannot just be put on the market – they have to undergo rigorous tests and all this requires funding. There is also the cost of funding all the research into the drugs – and then the development and testing. This is where the Breast Cancer Charities and donations to those charities come in.

The Breast Cancer Charities fund the research and development of breast cancer treatments and drugs and also produce important information about breast cancer – how to examine yourself, signs to look for and also how to deal with a breast cancer diagnosis and what you can expect from treatment. They are also undertaking research into diet and its effects on breast cancer and are currently researching why breast cancer is more prevalent in the developed countries.

The Breast Cancer Charities run many fund-raising events, locally and nationally. The Race for Life is a well publicised example. The pink-ribbon campaign run by Cancer Research UK and the Pink Ribbon Foundation website is full of useful information about breast cancer and the treatment of it. With new treatments being developed all the time, these Charities are always in need of new funds and fundraisers. So support them in whatever way you can, whether it’s by donation of money or clothes, by buying Christmas cards, supporting the Charity Shops or by taking part in their fundraising events.

Macmillan Cancer Support provides practical, financial and emotional support for those diagnosed with any form of cancer. We are all familiar with the Macmillan nurses, who help people at all stages of their cancer diagnosis and they also support and advise the families of those people who are diagnosed with cancer. They are also working to improve cancer care and fight discrimination against people with cancer.

According to Cancer Research UK, one in nine women will develop breast cancer at some point in their life. So it is very important that we know exactly how to examine ourselves and the signs to look out for. I’m sure we all know of someone who has suffered or is suffering from breast cancer.

It wasn’t so very long ago that discussion of any kind of cancer was in hushed tones: it was often referred to as just “C” or “the big C” and it was regarded as a death sentence. However now there are so many more treatments and many more people are surviving for longer or being given the “all clear” after cancer treatment. But money is needed for research, drug testing and campaigning and that’s where you and I and the Charities step in.
