edited June 2014 in Living Without Reconstruction After a Mastectomy

I was shopping in Target the other day and saw swim breast forms for augmenting  busts.  On a whim I bought a set meant for for C and D cups. I fished out a couple of bras that had gotten a little tight over the past few years (before my double mastectomy) and the forms and bra fit perfectly!  I had been worried about what to wear for a couple of holiday parties and now I can choose from tops that I wouldn't have tried to wear before I discoved my falsies. I'm not going to even look at the expensive prothesis and special bras.  I'll go flat or wear my Target boobs.

    I might look for this.  I googled it, but didn't find swim forms.  Is this what you got? "Beautiful You Breast Enhancers":

    Yes, I actually bought a different brand but it's the same product.  I went to a party last night and one woman came up to me and said she had heard I'd had a mastectomy but she couldn't tell.  So I guess for me these things work!

    Hi Topless,

    I'm going to give the Target Breast enhancers a try. Thank for the tip. I saw a T-Shirt on one of the Breast cancer sites that I thought was great it said ( Yes, They're false the real ones tryed to kill me )  Love it. I've been on other web sites that say they had reconstruction only to have the cancer come back and had to have them removed in order to have treatment. My heart brakes for them. Having gone through all that and end up having them removed anyway. I'm so glad my family and I decided to not have reconstrution. So I'm flat. My daughter has told me several times. (Those who matter don't care and those care don't matter.) I'm so lucky to have a wonderful family and tons of friends that give me great support. I do still have pain in the chest and underarm. I'm almost 5 months out and excesise everyday. Another blog said she was 20 months out with pain evertday too. At least I know I'm not alone. I'll just learn to key word here LIVE WITH IT !!!!!!!!!.

    My blessings to all the wonderful pink lady's who are fighting the fight together.

    Hi Shirley, I love the T shirt saying.  I  have MS and I have a Tshirt that says "I do the MS walk every day".  Your daughter is very wise and I like her affermation.  I'm 3 months out and don't have any pain but I do have a lot of numbness.  That's O.K. though, because with MS both of my lower legs and feet are numb and now my fingers are getting pretty bad too.  Still, funny things happen, like when I've taken a shower with my socks on, or when I was talking to my sister while standing in a tidal pool.  The tidal pool was the funniest because other people were looking at me strangely and my sister had to ask me if I meant to be standing there.  No one to laugh with in the shower. 

    I hope the breast enhancers work for you too and I hope your pain goes away.  Happy Holidays!
