COVID19

Hi all,

From Thursday 19 March all of our Breast Cancer Haven centres will be closed.

We are committed to continue to give you the support you need during this time. And will do our best to deliver this remotely, either over the phone or virtually. Please contact your local centre to arrange an appointment.

You can also access our online resources which include self-help films and audio (linked on our page.)

Who is at risk?

Some people with breast cancer are more at risk of becoming seriously ill if they contract coronavirus. These include:

- People having chemotherapy, or who have received chemotherapy in the last three months

- People having immunotherapy or continuing antibody treatments for cancer

- People having targeted cancer treatments which can affect the immune system

If you're affected by breast cancer and concerned about the risk of coronavirus, talk to your hospital cancer team. Equally, please call us on 0300 012 0112 if you have any concerns.
