Breast Friends and Family support breast cancer patients at St John’s Hospital in Livingston, through diagnosis, treatment and recovery; to provide the little things that make a big difference. Breast Friends and Family has been setup by Hazel, her sister Mandy, mother Sylvia and daughter Holly. Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2015 which shocked the family but the challenges this diagnosis brought were faced with a steely determination to keep life going as normal and provide Hazel with the support she needed through treatment and recovery. The family realised that patients are supported by a number of cancer charities, each one giving additional support that patients are not even aware that they need. They began fund raising, by dancing, running, walking, knitting, sewing and organising events in support of many cancer charities. Hazel was given lots of support from a local charity based at St John’s Hospital in Livingston. As she recovered she wanted to help and support this local charity so that others like her, having a breast cancer diagnosis, were helped in the way that she was. Sadly this charity is no longer running. Hazel and her family and friends are now determined to make sure that all patients diagnosed with breast cancer at St John’s, are given the kind of help they don’t even realise they need. Providing the little things that make a big difference.

Story

We would love to continue to support this amazing charity who helped us both greatly after our diagnosis.   Their help and support for both us and our families was exceptional and certainly made the journey less painful.  

During these difficult times the charity needs more support than ever as unfortunately cancer doesn’t stop during a global pandemic. 
Men and woman are still being diagnosed every day and the charity continues to support breast care patients at St Johns hospital through diagnosed treatment and recovery. Any contribution will make an  impact , every little helps.

Julie “ So many great services that pulled me through some dark times, the team are incredible”
