Seldom does a day go by without a headline about something that will either cause or prevent cancer.  Our report looks at some of the research behind these sensationalised headlines to see if there is any real evidence that lifestyle or environmental factors increase your risk, and whether significant changes make sense following diagnosis.

When Julia S. was diagnosed with breast cancer she wanted to create something beautiful out of the trauma. It led her to take the unusual step of creating a beautiful tattoo that would cover her reconstructed breast.

One Journey of hope
Women in some countries have yearly mammograms; in others a lump might be found without having visited a doctor in a decade.  No matter where we experience breast cancer, though, it’s a journey that changes our lives.  If you’ve ever wondered what having breast cancer can be like in other countries, here we share the personal stories from women around the globe.
