What does cancer really look like? An exhibition in Peckham features women who have had the disease. Their scars on the outside a physical reminder of what they have endured. Our report contains images of their bodies following surgery.

Their photos are on show to highlight a problem - that many women who are black are reluctant to talk about cancer - and it can lead to them missing out on crucial care.

Rachel Rawson from Breast Cancer Care says talking about cancer within communities can be difficult for any woman.
