Breast reconstruction DVD launched to aid cancer patients

A DVD to help breast cancer patients facing reconstructive surgery was launched yesterday.

The DVD, the first of its kind in Ireland, will be made available to patients attending Cork University Hospital’s breast care clinic who are considering reconstruction following breast cancer surgery.

Developed by CUH plastic surgeon Eoin O’Broin and his team, and funded by Aid Cancer Treatment, the DVD features the personal stories of some of his patients who have undergone different methods of reconstruction.
