This is yet another example of how Breast Ca survivors are treated in this country.The Lymphoedema sufferes which has developed as a direct result of Breast Ca treatment are treated appalling,this is a lifelong irreversible condition,and we are left to buy our own garments and pay for the lifelong physiotherapy that this condition requires.
