Can you afford to have breast cancer?
For too many Canadians, the answer is no.
THE TRUTH about breast cancer is the financial burden can be just as devastating as the physical and emotional impact. That's why we reduce the financial burden of patients who are living in poverty while in treatment. The funds we raise, directly support breast cancer patients.

"I was at the point where I just could not survive any longer and here was this ray of hope shining through the clouds. Not only did I receive financial support: I also received friendship and emotional support. The process is made very easy by BCSF and they respond very quickly. They truly understand the crisis that exists when health stands in the way of work and there is the stress of just trying to get through every day." Ashley
