These women don’t have a choice of breast conserving surgery: they have to have a mastectomy to treat their breast cancer, as no radiotherapy available in Sierra Leone - prostheses are so important. @theBreastCentre @CV_UHB @HappyScalpel

[SWSLCancerCareLink @SWSLCancerCare]

Thanks to all the patients and breast care nurses at @theBreastCentre in @CV_UHB for the donations of bras and unused prostheses - makes a massive difference to the women treated for breast cancer at the breast clinic in Connaught hospital, Freetown, Sierra Leone. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇸🇱
