Together against breast cancer

Early detection can save lives

INITIATIVE

Early detection of breast cancer can save lives. The earlier a tumour is detected, the greater the chances of recovery and the less stressful the treatment. 

PINK CUBE Test Your Breast is a unique initiative to strengthen breast cancer prevention and early detection in Switzerland.

The heart of our work is the annual PINK CUBE Roadshow, which stops in many cantons.

I noticed something and knew that I had to go and show it, but I waited anyway. Then I read about the Pink Cube in the newspaper and went there.

I was afraid that it was breast cancer. I found out that the doctor who had operated on me 16 years ago was in town on Saturday, so I queued at 10am to show the lump.
