Story
The physiotherapy and exercise prescription services funded by the charity have been an absolutely essential part of me rebuilding my life post-cancer. Please give generously so other ladies can benefit for many years to come. Diolch o galon.
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 is designed around the needs of our patients and houses out-patient clinics and diagnostic radiology services together. We were also lucky to be able to build and in-house gym 'The McCarthy Suite'.
Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are used to provide state of the art equipment, specialist bras for mastectomy and reconstructive surgery patients.
Donations have also provided a physiotherapist and equipment to enable one on one and patient group sessions as an exercise prescription service. This is the first of its kind in Wales, and aids in pre-hab and re-hab for our breast cancer patients.
