Northamptonshire woman: ‘NHS won’t pay for my second breast’

Northamptonshire woman: ‘NHS won’t pay for my second breast’ Women in Northamptonshire who have survived breast cancer say they are distressed after being told to have photos taken of their chests in order to be judged whether they are eligible for reconstruction surgery.

The women have formed the countywide Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) group to fight what they consider an unfair NHS Nene CCG breast reconstruction policy. But it can exclude some women who have had a mastectomy, but are left with asymmetry. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
