FORCE is relaunching its support group for younger women with breast cancer.
From November 11, drop-in sessions will be held at the charity’s Support and Information Centre in Exeter on the second Wednesday of each month from 1.30pm-3pm.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women but it is less common in the under 50s for whom it presents specific issues.
The Younger Women’s Breast Cancer Support Group (under 50s) offers an opportunity to talk in a supportive and informal environment.

Devon Adoption has introduced the Government-led ‘foster to adopt’ scheme to protect these children from experiencing multiple moves within the care system and provide them with good quality, uninterrupted and consistent care, while detailed assessments of their birth family are completed and the...
It was an historic night for Georgia, who almost certainly secured their qualification for Rugby World Cup 2019 by doing enough yesterday at Sandy Park to finish third in Pool C, but it was by no means a straightforward victory as Namibia fought them all the way in a match that eventually came down to a one-point margin and included four yellow cards.
Prince Harry was at Sandy Park to see a contest that defied all predictions as Georgia dominated every statistic but for large portions of the match were unable to convert them into points.

House sales continue to pick up across the South West in September supported by a modest improvement in the availability of mortgage finance, according to the latest RICS UK Residential Market Survey.

Jack Yeandle has been named as Exeter Chiefs club captain for the 2015/16 season.
Rob Baxter revealed his choice on Wednesday after telling the players of his decision earlier that morning ahead of Saturday's Westcountry Challenge Cup match at Bath.
It brings to an end a question which has been swirling around Sandy Park throughout the summer following Dean Mumm's departure to Australia.
Hooker Yeandle, 25, captained the side at the start of the 2014/15 campaign after Mumm was ruled out following shoulder surgery, and Baxter confirmed that his success during that...
Exeter’s new season begins tomorrow (Oct 8) with the first of six races off at 2.25pm. Heavy showers at the beginning of the week mean the going is good, good to soft in places, resulting in a strong card of runners.
The feature race of the day is the Great Point Media Investments Handicap Chase, run over three miles. Seven runners go to post with the Lawney Hill-trained King Fountaine likely to start the favourite. However, his win at Plumpton just under three weeks ago, has put him up eight pounds in the handicap and the Grant Cann-trained I’m In Charge will be a popular...
