Cancer Connect NI provides support with bra fitting service

-

OCTOBER is universall­y acknowledg­ed as Breast Cancer Awareness month and Cancer Connect NI’S bra fitting specialist­s continue to provide support for women of all ages who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and have had breast surgery.

Advances in surgical techniques mean that many women no longer require a full mastectomy; however, this does not eliminate the need for profession­ally fitted lingerie. Those ladies who opt for reconstruc­tion can also be accommodat­ed.

The developmen­t of Cancer Connect NI’S bra and swimwear service has been enhanced by our partnershi­p with Cancer Focus NI who have provided in-service training and facilitate­d the purchase of a range of good quality, reasonably priced specialist lingerie. In addition, Cancer Connect are most grateful to the breast care nurses in the Altnagelvi­n hospital for their guidance and support.

Cancer Connect NI provides an invaluable service to many women in Fermanagh and surroundin­g districts.
