Bras
I’ve heard it’s neither here nor there with underwire bras but I really want to buy some without wire now. I’ll have a divet in my lower left breast where the BC was removed but ‘gravity’ will likely take care of that. I’m not especially vain so don’t care what the bra looks like, just after some comfy ones while I’m…

The information I was given was that once Centrelink confirmed I was eligible I would be able to lodge a claim. What I was not told, at any time, was that…

BCNA go in to bat for us getting subsidised or free MRIs ... Sunday Paper
Talk about sexism!! Men get it cheap - but not women! TOTALLY UNFAIR! WELL DONE to BCNA for going in to bat on our behalf - especially women with dense breasts who may need the more expensive options to determine if they DO have BC, as mammograms often show nothing and Ultrasounds can be inconclusive.
