Underwear for breast cancer patients

News - Wales, UK

High street giant Marks and Spencer is looking at introducing a new underwear range for women who have had breast cancer surgery.

The retailer yesterday announced the move, which is said to be in its early stages, in response to requests from customers.

One woman wrote to M&S chief executive Stuart Rose stating, "You don't realise, you cannot buy a matching bra and knickers set if you've lost a breast.

"Why can't you do that for us?"
