National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Today I had a trip to "Yellow Daffodils", a fairly local (30 miles from my home) establishment for women experiencing the breast cancer journey. I was fitted with three bra's that I liked and got my first breast prosthesis. I also got a special prosthesis for swimming as I swim almost daily during warm weather plus use a hot tub all year round. It felt neat to walk out feeling all balanced out and without a camisole and one flat side. I have been going braless since my mastectomy 3/28. They also seemed to have a really nice selection of wigs, hats, and scarves ( which I fortunately do not need). They also had mastectomy swimsuits but I did not see any I really liked. I also purschased "pockets" which can be sewed into swimsuits or bra's you already have to hold the prosthesis. I cannot sew but my wonderful younger sister and two nieces are a whiz at sewing, so I am sure they will help me. Of course, the bra styles I preferred were upgrades over what the insurance will pay for but I am a survivor and I deserve upgrades. Today was a great day.
