Patients can book an appointment to visit our private fitting room and receive personalized help and support from our trained volunteers for wig and/or breast prostheses and bra fittings. 

Bras for Buddies Program

Thanks to a generous donation from a local breast cancer survivor, CAP administers the Bras for Buddies Program in partnership with Sue Teschke from Mastectomy Lingerie & More. CAP’s donated mastectomy items are free for CAP clients and if we cannot suit your needs, we will provide you with a voucher that you can take to Mastectomy Lingerie & More where you will be fitted for a new mastectomy bra. You can find Mastectomy Lingerie & More at 549 Upper Wellington Street, Hamilton, ON L9A 3P8. Their contact information is 289-689-5409 or find them online at www.mlam.ca.
