Hi Leanne, you're definitely not alone on this journey.
I had a single skin & nipple sparing mastectomy in May this year, I've finished chemo, almost finished radiation. I'm still using the soft breast form as it's comfortable & also as I don't have the funds to buy the prosthetic yet. I also wanted to wait until the swelling in my 'flat tyre' settles down after rads before I pay out so much money on a prosthetic as I want to make sure it's the right size straight up as I don't want to be lopsided LOL.
Medicare and my health fund will refund most of it, but I still need to have it in the first instance.
