There are hundreds of sites on the internet featuring information, news and stories about all aspects of breast cancer. It can be interesting, informative and fun to 'surf the net' looking for sites around the world.

On this page, we feature links to sites and stories that have caught our eye and may interest you too.  Some of these stories are inspirational and informative. Others broaden our knowledge of experiences from women all over the world. Breast cancer is a global disease and we can learn much from each other, irrespective of ethnicity, culture and social background.

These links are provided on the BCS website only as a feature of interest for visitors to our site. The content of the sites linked to is in no way representative of the views or policies of Breast Cancer Support Inc.
