Rosemere funds equipment in East Lancs
The Rosemere Cancer Foundation has pledged over £19,000 to fund equipment that will help head and neck and skin cancer patients in East Lancashire. The funds will buy a colour matching system and laptop to better match the colour of prostheses to the natural skin tone on patients who have had surgery for head and neck cancer. £9,000 will also buy skin cooling packs to held relieve the burning sensation experienced by skin cancer patients during treatment. Finally, two dermascopes are being purchased to allow better examination and management of skin cancer at Burnley and Blackburn. Rosemere hopes to have all the equipment in place for the benefit of patients by the end of February.
