Sharing knowledge about breast cancer could save lives. (Ave Calvar Martinez/Pexels) Women who cannot afford silicone prostheses or breast reconstruction will benefit from the Knit-for-Cansa project. Women who have had a mastectomy [a surgical removal of the breast] and cannot afford breast reconstruction surgery or silicone prostheses are set to benefit from the Knit-for-Cansa project which aims to provide at least 2 000 women with knitted prosthetic breasts. Helping Hand and the Cancer Society of South Africa (Cansa) joined forces to have these knitted breasts ready in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. “This year, in collaboration with Cansa and the FroueVonds, we are tackling the Knit-for-Cansa Project under the banner of #BosomFriends,” says Benette Welman, Project Organiser at Solidarity Helping Hand and the FroueVonds.
