Crop tops
Hi everyone I’ve had a double mastectomy and I’m looking for suggestions on crop tops to wear without any type of cup…..just plain crop tops to wear under my clothing to hide the scaring. all the ones I’ve found have some form of cup or padding inside including at Kmart. i haven’t found prosthetics to be comfortable so am going flat and proud but would like some form of top under my clothes. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks PipNatural & complementary therapies
Hi BC friends I love natural therapies. Complementary therapies. not the weird & whacky ‘cures’ that are out there, but those that support my body & soul through this journey with cancer. even food as medicine. alongside the treatment that is suggested by Drs. anyone else interested in this kind of thing? 🌿
Cellulitis
Me again :) So I’ve had some pain under my Cancer boobie like blind pimple pain but twice as bad as I couldn’t wear a bra...I had a doctors appointment this afternoon as I was getting dressed I noticed the redness had now covered 3/4 of my boob. Anyway doctor tells me it’s cellulitis...the infection started in the area I got burnt from radiation but cleared up by first week of January...has anyone ever experienced this? I have started antibiotics more tablets to take :( thank you Nelliea bit bummed
this whole cancer journey started for me just a month ago. and now with surgery being postponed, I’m feeling really low i am pre diabetic & this past month, I’ve not been looking out for myself. Consuming cakes, bread and other stuff that I don’t usually eat my recent blood tests showed a raised glucose level of 7.2 its usually 6.2 I’ve put weight on too and now I have to start my diet regime all over i do LCHF I’m really over all of this 🥹 just having a bad dayHello
Hi all! It has been quite some time since I have frequented the BCNA online forum. I was an avid contributor when I was going through diagnosis and treatment. Just wanted to come on and say Hello and let others know that are starting out that as time goes on and you take on treatment a routine starts and eventually you can start to see brighter days. Me, along with others are living proof that life takes on a lighter, brighter side once the trauma of diagnosis and treatment settles and you can focus on getting through it and hopefully better for it. It is evolving! Fatigue is one to watch for and understand as it really takes it out of you but eventually a new normal evolves! The Kylie Minogue documentary that Kristen has so eloquently spoken of shows there's light at the end of it all.

Best Supplements for Hair Growth and Thickness | Recommendations by Expert
I researched the best supplements for hair growth and thickness for the past few days because I have been noticing my hair getting thinner and dull lately. I read reviews on Healthline, Forbes Health, and Medical News Today, and they are marking these two as the best options in 2025: Nutrafol Men's Hair Growth Supplements https://www.amazon.com/Nutrafol-Supplement-Clinically-Thicker-Looking-Stronger-Feeling/dp/B00LTZEEGQ Divi Scalp Serum for Thinning Hair https://www.amazon.com/Divi-Hair-Scalp-Serum-Women/dp/B0BQ3Z7NV7?th=1 From what I found, Nutrafol helps nourish hair from within by providing essential vitamins like biotin, zinc, and marine collagen, which can improve hair thickness and reduce shedding. On the other hand, Divi Scalp Serum works externally by revitalizing the scalp with caffeine, peptides, and amino acids, creating a healthier environment for stronger hair growth.However, I am still unsure which one might work best in the long term. My main goal is to reduce hair fall, promote thicker strands, and maintain a healthier scalp overall.Has anyone here tried either of these or found a supplement that truly worked for you? I would love to hear some real experiences or expert advice before deciding which one to go for.thanks in advance for your suggestions
