A black grandmother who had a mastectomy to save her life was dismayed when she found there were no prosthetic breasts matching her skin tone.
Veronica Parke, 64, underwent the operation in 2021 at London's Royal Marsden Hospital after being diagnosed with breast cancer a year earlier.
After the operation she was too sick to have reconstructive surgery so opted to have a prosthetic known as a softie in its place.
