Story
I've had a horrible time over the past 18 months (after a double mastectomy), and the support I've received from the Breast Centre in Llandough has made a massive difference to me.
I want to be able to raise money so that they are able to help other women in similar situations.
This 5k symbolises my return back to my new normal so any support or donations would be really appreciated. Thank you
The Breast Centre at University Hospital Llandough treats between 450 and 500 new breast cancer patients every year. At a time when patients may be very anxious they tell us it makes a huge difference to them to have a streamlined service with everything under one roof.The Breast Centre Appeal raised the money to build the Centre, which isdesigned around the needs of our patients and houses out-patient clinics and diagnostic radiology services together. Patients can have a mammogram or ultrasound and get their results on the same day; if further investigations are needed these can also be carried out at the Centre.Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are used to provide special bras formastectomy and reconstruction patients and offer complementary therapies & confidence sessions.Donations have also provided a physiotherapist for one on one sessions as anexercise prescription service, the first of its kind in Wales, and a gym for ourpatients having surgery for breast cancer.
