AWAKEN - POST-SURGERY LINGERIE FROM PLT x GIRLvsCANCER

Dedicated to the memory of Vicky Keating

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women within the UK, with one woman diagnosed every 10 minutes! It’s estimated that 14,850 of the 55,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK undergo a mastectomy. In addition to this, women diagnosed with the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, may choose to undergo a prophylactic mastectomy, which helps to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 90 to 95 percent.

Seriously check them!

One in seven women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. If detected at stage one, most women (around 98%) will survive their cancer for 5 years or more after diagnosis, whereas detection at stage four sees only a 28% survival rate - which makes self-checking all the more important!
