An insult to breast cancer sufferers.Byline: Joan Burnie Q I AM annoyed as well as disheartened dis·heart·en tr.v. dis·heart·ened, dis·heart·en·ing, dis·heart·ens To shake or destroy the courage or resolution of; dispirit. See Synonyms at discourage. to learn that the Marks &Spencer stores at in neither Braehead nor the new Silverburn centres stocks masectomy bras. Why do the female staff at least not insist that they do? Do they think that people who have lost a breast only shop in Glasgow's Argyle Street Argyle Street is the name of a street in many cities and towns. Notable among these are:

Obviously, I've passed your comments on to M&S.
