What has helped you through your journey?
I thought I would start a post to see what has helped people through their journey, so that maybe something might help others.
I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Forum Discussion
I had 6 weeks between diagnosis and surgery.....I grieved the loss of my breast and had a 'Bye Bye Booby Party". It sounds strange but it was the best thing I could have done.
I had everyone bring a plate of 'tittilating' food, lol and they had to come up with different ways of using my new fake boob.
About 12 women came and we just laughed the whole afternoon at some of the ideas. The winning idea was when the kids in the back of the car were tired they could use the prosthesis as a pillow. Another was to use the empty bra cup as a purse and getting rid of the need of a handbag....it works really well until your boob starts ringing in a shop and you have to reach into your top to retrieve the phone....few puzzled looks.
But I had the mastectomy and haven't had any phantom sensations and I am now a one-boobed unique woman.
