Supplies for chemotherapy and clear information on breast cancer, for women in treatment at University College Hospital.
chemotherapy sessions’ worth of supplies across 1 edition
Chemotherapy runs over months, and each session carries costs beyond the drugs. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month we supply the Oncology Unit at UCH and bring a specialist to answer the questions women carry with them through treatment.
Covering the supplies keeps treatment on schedule for women who cannot afford a delay.
The first edition.
