Breast Reconstruction Awareness

St Andrews Centre for Plastic Surgery and Burns

 

St Andrews Centre provides a comprehensive breast reconstruction service for the following clinics: Southend, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford, Harlow, Ilford and Whipps Cross.

 

Providing support

 

Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) meetings were established in 2004 by Breast Reconstruction Nurses, Christine Moxon and Jayne Knight, who recognised that there is a great need for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer to be able to meet and talk to other women who have been through the same experience.

Meetings are open to women who are considering immediate or delayed breast reconstruction, and are also attended by women who have had breast reconstruction and who are at various stages of treatment.

 

 

BRA meetings offer

 

  • An informal and relaxed atmosphere

  • The opportunity to meet other women facing the same issues

  • Advice and support from trained and experienced Breast Reconstruction Nurses

  • Direct access to women who have already benefited from surgery

  • Answers to your questions from people with recent experience of the issues you are facing

  • Reassurance
