The Irish Cancer Society will set up a Breast Cancer Information Stand in Penneys Letterkenny this Thursday 3rd October from 10am – 5pm as part of a nationwide awareness campaign.
Irish Cancer Society Cancer Awareness Nurses will be on hand to provide free information and advice on breast cancer, and crucially, demonstrate how to carry out breast self-checks for potential signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
The initiative is part of Penneys biggestt ever breast cancer awareness campaign, which includes a clothing range and a donation of over €1 million to cancer charities.
From 1st October, 37 products will be on sale in two ranges: the post-surgery range, which includes specialist product developed for women affected by breast cancer and the solidarity range, which is a limited-edition range including hoodies, t-shirts, nightwear and underwear to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
As part of its Breast Cancer Awareness campaign Penneys continues to support the work of the Irish Cancer Society and this year will donate €100,000 to the charity. This donation forms part of a broader commitment to donate more than €1 million to cancer charities globally.
While 9 in 10 breast changes will turn out not to be breast cancer, it is important to rule it out.
For any breast cancer related queries, please contact the Irish Cancer Society Support Line on freephone 1800 200 700 or email supportline@irishcancer.
