Getting the right advice and treatment are hugely important in your breast cancer journey. What doesn’t help are myths and disinformation - and there’s plenty of both out there. Here’s the advice from Future Dreams : “Don’t take anything without checking with your clinical team as everyone’s breast cancer diagnosis and prescribed medication is individual. They will be able to tell you if any treatments you are curious about are unfounded or how they will interact with your treatment”

In this episode, Victoria talks to journalist Jacquie Beltrao from Sky Sports and Dr Liz O’Riordan who has written a book on this very subject.

The NHS say that one in 3 women who get breast cancer is over 70. That may be logical - the longer you live the greater your chances of getting the disease. But while the average life expectancy for women is 83, after the age of 71 you no longer automatically get invited for a mammogram.

In this episode, Victoria talks to Baroness Margaret Hodge, who was diagnosed herself at the age of 80...she talks about her own experience and how she wants a better deal for older women.
