Yourwellness Magazine Explores Breast Cancer Warning Signs
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 24 August 2013 -- Recovering from breast cancer has inspired a St Leonards hairdresser to set up a specialist bra boutique to support other survivors, it was announced August 7th. Tracy Crookshank was diagnosed in 2008 and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, and went on to set up mastectomy and post-surgery bra fitting service BRA-vehearts in East Kilbride Shopping Centre in April, this year. She commented, “When you’ve had a mastectomy, lumpectomy or any type of surgery for breast cancer you need to be fitted for a bra. Going into a department store for a fitting can be a very uncomfortable experience…There was no private shop in Scotland for women who had undergone mastectomies and I wanted to change that.” (http://www.eastkilbridenews.co.uk/lanarkshire-news/local-news-lanarkshire/2013/08/07/support-in-store-for-breast-cancer-survivors-68653-33698485/)
With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine explored the warning signs of breast cancer. According to Yourwellness Magazine, “Breast cancer can be a very dangerous disease as the worst outcome might lead to the end of your life. However, if you receive treatment for it at an early stage, you definitely have a higher chance of surviving as well as receiving a complete cure to it too.” (http://www.yourwellness.com/2011/05/warning-signs-of-breast-cancer-you-should-be-aware-of/#sthash.7JUBjnQg.dpuf)
