Prosthesis give away

Keeping_positive1

I have heard also that knitted knockers can be a good alternative.  Here is the website below, perhaps they can give you more information.  Also your breast cancer nurse may be able to also assist you with any further information or make enquiries on your behalf.

@Liong Are you on the fb page for Adelaide Breast Cancer Friendship Group - sometimes people do offer things on this.

Someone on the ABC group just posted that they have brand new knitted knockers to give away.  It's a closed group so you will need to ask to join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AdelaideBreastCancerFriendshipGroupChatRoom/
