Talking to children about secondary breast cancer

What’s the project about?

We are creating a new booklet about talking with children about secondary breast cancer as part of an information review.

The new booklet aims to help people affected by secondary breast cancer talk to their children about their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

We’d love to include some quotes from people who’ve had these conversations with their children or grandchildren, to give the booklet a more personal feel and provide readers with helpful tips.

Your involvement helps give our information a personal touch by adding real experiences that people can relate to and helping us share useful tips for people affected by breast cancer.
