Reconstruction Support Videos
Real scars , Real results, Real women.
Welcome to our Real life Reconstruction Result Videos. Whether you aren’t ready yet to attend in person, don’t have nearby face-to-face support or are unable to attend for any reason, these online videos are here for you to provide clarity, honesty and support. These videos contain an introduction to different surgery types, real life results and aim to emulate the support and advice you would get at our face to face support meetings.
We would like to thank Production Bureau, Norfolk Community Foundation and HM Government in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this video project.
A special thanks goes to all our volunteers who contributed to the content of this video by sharing their experiences to help support others.

About Us
Keeping Abreast was established in September 2007 by patients Anna Beckingham and Beverley Birritteri and Breast Reconstruction nurse specialist Ruth Harcourt. They recognised a great need for women, both newly diagnosed with breast cancer and facing the possibility of mastectomy, and also women further down the line who are also considering reconstructive surgery, to be able to meet and talk to other women who have been through similar experiences. This allows women make an informed choice about whether or not to proceed with breast reconstruction.
