Radio 4's Breast Cancer Awareness month

Thank you for the amazing response we have had from ‘In the Pink’ magazine and the launch party last Wednesday, your interest and support is really appreciated! The fight won't be over until breast cancer is eradicated so let's all keep up our hard work to get even more awareness out there.

BBC RADIO'S 4 WOMAN'S HOUR - BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

BBC Radio 4’s Woman's Hour is giving substantial coverage to Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. At least 3 items a week are covering the various aspects of diagnosis and treatment, as well as the personal and emotional impact of breast cancer for the person concerned, their family and friends.

Also on offer is a dedicated messageboard for people who have or have had breast cancer, their families and friends; many people find this way of sharing experiences and information extremeley helpful. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 11.00am-12.00am, Breast Cancer Care nurses will be posting on the message board and answering your questions. The month will end with a phone in for listeners on October 31st.

Presenting and chairing these items is Woman's Hour presenter Jenni Murray, diagnosed with breast cancer herself at the end of last year.

Woman's Hour is on Radio 4 92-95FM and 198LW, weekdays from 10-11am and Saturdays 4-5pm, with breast cancer topics covered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout October. You can also listen to the live programme as well as previous programmes on the Radio 4 website. You can access the message board through the Woman's Hour page, or this link.
