23 Jul
Summary
- A charity offers free bra fitting workshops for mastectomy patients.
- These sessions help women regain confidence and improve body image.
- Specialist bras and prosthetics are available to try before ordering.
Fighting All Cancers Together (Fact), a charity based in Wrekenton, Gateshead, is providing crucial support for women who have undergone mastectomy. The organization hosts free monthly workshops designed to help these women feel more confident in their bodies again.
These sessions offer a safe space for women to explore specialized bras and prosthetic breasts. This service addresses the emotional toll of breast cancer surgery, which often leads women to focus on what they have lost rather than their overall shape or image.
Participants leave the workshops feeling significantly uplifted. The charity aims to restore a sense of normalcy and self-assurance, making the transition post-surgery smoother. By focusing on feeling fantastic in their undergarments, Fact helps women manage one less worry during their recovery.
