Have you checked yourself recently? Did you know around 55,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer every year? It’s estimated that 1 in 7 women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, making it the most common cancer in the UK. Plus, each year, around 2,300 women aged 39 & under are diagnosed – & there’s currently no routine screening programme for younger women who don’t have a family history of the disease. Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Emily Allen, a biomedical scientist & women’s health speaker, for an insightful talk on breast cancer awareness, early detection & the life-saving importance of self-examinations. The whole SheerLuxe team proudly wore pink in solidarity with the #WearItPink campaign for Breast Cancer Now. We also held a special podcast episode hosted by our editor-in-chief Charlotte Collins, joined by two incredible breast cancer survivors – former breast cancer surgeon Dr Liz O'Riordan & journalist Rosamund Dean. Together, they talk about their unique experiences living with cancer & the incredible work they’re doing in the space to raise awareness.
