The following are examples of the equipment LFBC have purchased for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Cancer Centre since the charities formation in June 2000, as you can see we started with a £5,000 cooling cap and through the years have progressed to £150,000 ultra sound scanner:
- Cooling Cap to help prevent hair loss during treatment
- Faxitron X Ray machine for breast biopsy, lumpectomy and pathology samples
- DC Digital Camera, used in conjunction with the Faxitron
- Medical Fridge and Temperature Chart for the Chemotherapy Department
- Tattooing Equipment, to aid reconstruction of the nippleMobile Mammography Trailer, enabling up to ten women an hour to be x-ray’d in their local area
- Liposocution Unit
- Headlight for precise lighting when the breast cancer surgeon is operating
- Ultra Sound Scanner, providing 3D Ultra sound Tomography which is the “gold standard” for diagnosing breast disease
- Digital Mammogram Unit, high resolution picture, higher in contrast which is better for women who have dense breast tissue and are under the age of 50 or pre-menopausal
Our current project is to fund a Research Nurse for a minimum of 10 years at a cost of £30,000 per annum
Help us to make a difference by fundraising either with your friends at home or with your colleagues at work.

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK! The risk of breast cancer increases with age. Four out of five cases occur over the age of 50.
Help us in the fight against breast cancer. We are a local charity run by a group of focussed volunteers.
If you have been affected by breast cancer or know someone who has, feel free to share your journey with us.
