Breast ReconstructionWednesday 4 December 2002
One of the issues being addressed by the Royal Society of Medicine at their breast cancer conference.

For women who have undergone the trauma of losing a breast through cancer, having their breast rebuilt can be a vitally important stage in their recovery. But a shortage of trained surgeons, coupled with an unwillingness of some doctors and patients to talk about such surgery, means many patients are not being given this option.
Jenni will be speaking with Ursula Van Mann who has had pioneering breast reconstruction and also with Dr Andrew Baildon and Delyth Morgan of the breast cancer charity, 'Breakthrough'.
