We are making a real impact in the treatment and support of breast cancer. Around 125,000 women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 20 years are still are alive today, and the survival rate after five years is as much as 98% if the cancer has not spread beyond the breast tissue.
The money raised for Pink Ribbon Day will help Cancer Council to fund more world class research, practical support and prevention and early detection programs. Find out more
