The Adventist Women’s Ministries Group in Denia donated a score of heart-shaped cushions to the hospital in Denia. These cushions are designed to aid in the recovery of women after mastectomy. Mercedes Martínez, head of this Adventist group, delivered the cushions this week to the Oncology team at the Denia hospital. The group organizes weekly meetings and the women wanted to make these special cushions. They are used by women who have had to undergo a mastectomy, operation for the removal of the mammary gland or a part of it. This cushion, worn under the arm prevents chafing in the wound after surgery and because of the shape it is easy to keep in place. On the other hand, it prevents direct contact of the arm with the body, and offers support. In addition, it protects the muscles of the shoulder. The Adventist Women’s Ministries group in Denia, and the Women's Ministries of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Spain, want this cushion, which is full of love,to contribute to the recovery of many women with breast cancer.
