Under arm pillow

i don't know if I am doing this correctly, I will get out of hospital in a couple of days and a friend told me about an underarm pillow that makes everything more comfortable after the operation. I have looked online and can only find a pattern, does anyone know where I can purchase ? Thank you

    I got mine from the breast care nurse as well.  I also found having a normal pillow on the surgery side was helpful. Maureen

    Hi there I was given one of these pillows when I had radiation but I no longer use it. If you pm me your name and address, I will happily post it out to you. It was fabulous. Love Karen xox

    G'day TWilliams31

    Yes, your Breast Care Nurse should be able to provide you with one of the curved pillows.  If not, your hospital may have the Zonta International ones available for you.  Look up www.zonta.org to find a contact near you.  I know Victoria is in their region 23 but I do not know where you live.

    Both lots are supplied to all BC ladies free of charge and made by a group of wonderful ladies.

    Just ask !

    Wishing you a speedy recovery.
