October Leaflet Campaign

From the four corners of Ireland and the midlands, our Lobular Breast Cancer Support Group Ladies will make leaflet drops by hand to all the Cancer Centres of Excellence & Cancer Support Centres in Ireland. ‘What is Lobular Breast Cancer’, the leaflet very kindly made available to us by the European Lobular Breast Cancer Consortium{ELBCC), will share an overview of the basic information and key concepts of this cancer type.  Most people are not aware that there is more than one breast cancer type, subtypes nor many different treatments. Often said to be the ‘good’ cancer type to get but because it does not always present as ‘a lump’ it is often at advanced stage when detected and for those with dense breasts, their tumours don’t always show on mammographic imagery alone.
