Airport Security / Breast Prothesis

So 2 years ago we were seeing my daughter off at Melbourne Airport I had a not so fun experience going through the Airport Security wearing a Breast Prothesis which I have previously posted about.  

2 weeks ago we flew Interstate for a mini break.   I was terrified of the potential same experience.   This time I had a letter from my doctor saying I have a Breast Prothesis in place due to a past history of breast cancer.   I had my letter in my hand to tell the staff so I didnt have the same experience.    I told man who directed me to the entrance of the security line.  He said tell the staff before you go through the security xray machine.  A female staff member was called over.  She says.. "Whats the problem" and I thought oh God here we go again.  But she was fine and I stood on the xray machine and I was good to go.  This was such a huge relief.   I still had to tell 3 people but I wasnt letting go of my letter.

Then coming home from Interstate I wasnt able to show my letter to the staff I had to put it in the box that went through the scanner.   I told the staff member and she was fine and said all was good.     I had so much stress leading up to that moment.
