An Interdisciplinary Approach for the Management of the Elderly Multimorbid Patient with Breast Cancer Therapy Induced Cardiac Toxicity

The Pillow Positive Project of COCO-MAT supports the patients that participate in the CARDIOCARE clinical study

Feb 26, 2024

CARDIOCARE would like to express its sincere thanks to COCOMAT for its kind offer of heart-shaped pillows to the patients that participate in the clinical trial of CARDIOCARE in the University Hospital of Ioannina and Aretaeio University Hospital. The Pillow Positive pillow is a soft heart-shaped pillow designed as an aid for women who have had surgery treating breast cancer. Heart pads are given to women in the very first post-operative stage, immediately helping them to recover more quickly. The shape of the pad allows women to hold it under the arm, easing pain, helping to reduce swelling and protecting the incision site.

The action took place within the framework of the Pillow Positive Project that aims to support women who have undergone breast cancer surgery since 2012, as part of its social responsibility.
