Story
The Breast Centre at University Hospital Llandough treats between 450 and 500 new breast cancer patients every year.
I was one of those patients in 2020.
The service they provide goes beyond the diagnosis and subsequent NHS treatment. Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are used to provide special bras for mastectomy and reconstruction patients and offer complementary therapies & confidence sessions. Donations have also provided a physiotherapist for one on one sessions as an exercise prescription service, the first of its kind in Wales, and a gym for ourpatients having surgery for breast cancer. I attend the Pink Ribbon Fitness Group which offers free exercise and swim classes, group walks and get togethers for anyone who has experienced breast cancer. A fantastic support group run by fantastic staff from the Breast Centre.
