Testimonials
As a woman with breast disease, you are not alone. Over 6,000 other women in Switzerland receive a similar diagnosis every year. Each of them has a different course of the disease, a different therapy and finds her own personal way of dealing with it. We would like to present some of these stories here to show solidarity, encourage and support other women.
