About Breast Cancer (ABC) Workshops
The Ulster Cancer Foundation has launched a series of breast awareness workshops across Northern Ireland, in association with Gordons Chemists.
The ABC workshops, which will be held in Gordons Chemists stores, are particularly aimed at women aged fifty years plus - the age range which are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
