October 2025 – Breast Care Unit – Visit
Sarah’s Pink Events Trustees visited the Breast Care Unit to take along items purchased for their use. Having consulted with the unit staff we found that there were 3 areas where we could make donations.
The first is to help alleviate the distressing side effects of chemotherapy which causes a number of problems with the finger and toe nails. These side effects can be discolouration, ridges, splitting and detachment. The unit staff had identified a treatment that can help with this. The product is Polybalm and with regular application it can treat these conditions. Sarah’s Pink Events have purchased a quantity of this product for the staff to provide to those patients who will benefit but are unable to afford the cost of the item.
Kimberley & Maureen presented the Polybalm to Jayne Ryan and Sarah Gracey-Shaw.
The second was a range of books for children and young adults. The purpose of the books is to help guide these children through the difficult and confusing times which surround diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. These books will form a library that can be accessed by patients who have difficulties in explaining the facts to their families.
Kimberley & Maureen presented the books to Jayne Ryan and Sarah Gracey-Shaw.
The final items were purchased for the team in the Breast Imaging area of the unit. Through patient experience feedback the team identified a need, in certain proceedures, patients would appreciate some form of distraction aid such as background music of their choice. After taking this on board the team contacted Sarah’s Pink Events and asked us to supply a set of speakers and a starlight projector to create a more relaxing, comfortable environment.
Lizzie Harrison (3rd from right) and her colleagues from the Breast Imaging unit recieved the speakers and starlight projector.
The Sarah’s Pink Events trustees look forward to receiving feedback on how well these donations are received by patients who experience them.
The cost of all the above donations came to £2437.
