Cancer Focus NI Care Services Manager Deirdre Conlon said: “After surgery and treatment for breast cancer some women feel less confident in their body and self- image, so our service offers personal, one to one support, helping each breast cancer patient choose the right garment, in the right size, to suit them.

“Feeling good in your clothes can make a real difference and following breast surgery there is no reason why women shouldn’t continue to wear the clothes they love,” she said.

“Our service already operates in a number of other areas in Northern Ireland and has helped many women over the years find a renewed sense of self-confidence in themselves after a very tough time in their lives.”

Mary McKnight, from Dungiven, who recently had a mastectomy, had a very positive experience when she used the Cancer Focus NI bra-fitting service at Altnagelvin Hospital.
