It's a disgrace that women have to go through some much pain and suffering with their breast cancer and now the HSE is adding to their misery.

A woman with breast cancer does not need any more stress in her life. Please reverse the proposed changes

Well done for starting this petition and drawing awareness to the proposed changes. It'll be a huge blow for women if they take effect.

I am a post bilateral mastectomy person and a medical card holder. WHY and HOW could the HSE decision makers choose such vulnerable women in their planning?

Signing because these items should be fully funded. As should surgical reconstruction, which is fully funded in places like Germany. I would personally never have breast surgery even life saving surgery because it is against my philosophical believes, but I would never deny others care
