A corner for those touched indirectly by breast cancer

It's often easy to forget that breast cancer doesn't just affect the person who has been diagnosed with the disease but also those who love and care for that person.  Admittedly these friends and relatives don't have to undergo treatment and aren't fighting a life-threatening illness but they are affected in many ways and often don't get enough support themselves. 

The idea of this page is to allow those people to tell their story, discuss their worries and fears and to share help and tips that may make the journey just that little bit easier or more bearable.

If you have anything that you would like to say from the point of view of a relative, friend, carer or someone who's been touched by breast cancer without being diagnosed themselves then please contact us at Breast Cancer Corner and we will share your message.

Caring for a friend or relative with breast cancer

Caring for a loved one, friend or relative with cancer can be very draining both physically and emotionally. Of course there is the time involved in taking care of someone, which is extremely demanding physically and on top of this you will need to deal with your emotions, which can be incredibly exhausting.
