Tampa area BCO sisters get togethers

Michelle did contact me yesterday evening, apologizing for missing the Luncheon. A dear friend of her's with BC had called her for a sudden head shaving party. She looks forward to the next time.

MC - not the damned, just the somewhat unlucky...  but, I know what you mean   It has been a crazy ride, right?  I am just a bit ahead of you, my first surgery (of many, lol!) was Nov. 1 - this year I was busy enough that I actually forgot it was an anniversary of sorts! 

hi gals! I am in Sarasota....anything in the new year for gatherings

Jmo - All About You, here is a link.  This store is in South Tampa. I know they bill some insurance companies.  They spent a long time fitting me, since I was trying to match a flat side with a 650cc implant - it was a challenge.  They are very nice, and very patient!

Yes, that shop is quite nice and most patient too.

nbnotes - I was unaware that they carried mastectomy bra/inserts - I get my lymphedema sleeves/gauntlets from that location.

SpecialK - Yes, they have a nice room with samples, etc.

Hooray for you! Wishing insurance paid for the bras to wear after exchange to implants. The ones that fit me are expensive - at least to me they are since usually I'd been a Playtex, Maidenform, Bali type gal.. I've hit the problem of fitting into Underwire ones well. If the band fits, the cups are too big. If the cups fit, the band doesn't. At least the Wacoal Awareness Soft Cup fits me once i figured out to adjust what size to try. Dillards and Nordstrom hadn't figured that out. Yep, feeling rather proud of myself on that score. One Chantelle

Have been to Nordstrom, DIllards, Macy's, Nordstrom Rack, etc. So far, have a whole TWO bras that fit. One soft side and one Natori Sports Bra Underwire which isn't all that about all-day comfort. Since I need to have some underwire on hand in case Left tries to drop or too much, I'm heading to Her Room or similar website to deal with ordering and returning. what doesn't fit. There's worse things in life right.

Ladies, it's been almost Three months since the last get-together. Thoughts on scheduling another? I've a dear friend who needs to join us too. She was with me at all appointments after diagnosis for the first six months of my own BC journey. Sadly, now the tables are reversed and I'm there for her.

sorry 2 hear about your friend Galsal

Oh, fun! Either of those days would work for me. Sorry about your friend, GalSal.
