"This lockdown has been very upsetting for both of us. Jim doesn’t understand what it is all about no matter how many times I try and explain". As part of our Lives on Hold campaign, Beryl- carer for husband Jim- explains how lockdown has affected them: https://t.co/MoNbrRxxVM
As life begins to get back to a new kind of normal for most people, families living with dementia will see little change. However, our Helpline is there for anyone with a question or concern about dementia. Please watch and share our new video https://t.co/NttscQxgWL #LivesonHold
"A plea also for left and right press; stop attacking the character and motivation of the people trying to help get UK out of this." @ewanbirney
Thank you Ewan, I'm glad someone at last has had the courage to make this comment. You have provoked a chain reaction response/1
📡 We're temporarily changing our Helpline hours.
Our specialist breast cancer nurses will be available between 10am - 3pm from Monday to Friday and we will close temporarily on Saturday. Call us on 0808 800 6000
Today we’re launching what we hope will be the most comprehensive survey of people with #secondarybreastcancer. This is your chance to share your experiences of diagnosis, treatment & support to inform our campaigning work to make the biggest difference https://t.co/C0f8yWSCX9
Thanks @stephanddom and @talkRADIO for raising awareness of men with breast cancer on their show today. Great to be able to share @BCCare & @breastcancernow specialist information, support and research for men affected now and in the future.

A big shout out from me to all the wonderful people @BCCare who write little books of wisdom like this. And a 2nd huge shout out to our wonderful #nhs#chesterfieldroyal staff who are angels here on earth x
@abcdiagnosis@DaBell5 @MacRecoveryPack @BCCare@Maherjane@METUPUKorg @bbcare Yes, I confirm it’s what I said in my speech at the event - ensuring a tailored and adapted support package that’s appropriate and accessible to people with advanced cancer.
@abcdiagnosis@DaBell5 @MacRecoveryPack @BCCare@Maherjane@METUPUKorg @bbcare Hi Jo, there’s no duplication and we haven’t produced any document. The campaign is for all elements of the Recovery Package to be tailored for and accessible to all people with sbc to improve their care and support.
The Times published a shocking article from Dr Kristi Funk saying women were responsible for getting breast cancer - they shouldn't be tall or eat cheese or meat... This is the response from a group of senior Drs with cancer - they cut the letter but you get the point...
Are you aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer? Get to know your 'normal' and check your breasts regularly.
