Julia Pinner, Chair of Lichfield Programme Action Committe was delighted to present a cheque to the representative of Breast Care Charity. We heard that despite positive developments, 1,000 women a month still die of the disease.
Latest development include a test of the tissue surrounding the cancer and only if the test is positive does radiotherapy need to take place. Currently the test is only available from the USA but it is hoped that it will soon be available in the UK.
