Boy was my face Red!

Hey txgrl,

My son (6)and I were in the store and a gentlemen bumped into my prosthetic and was so embarrassed because he thought he touched my breast , My son promptly shouted " hey, don't worry that one  isn't real" so....

Don't be too embarrassed , get a good laugh , it could be worst.

Please ignore any posts from joancollins. This is the same individual - or at least related to the same individual - who has been on the board under the names of "docbob" and "docrob" earlier in the week.  The moderators continue to delete this indivduals posts, but it's hard to keep up as he keeps registering under different names.  It seems that this person is being paid to promote certain websites. 

For any information that you need about breast cancer detection and treatment, this site, BC.org, is the best place to start.

I actually lost mine in the pool one day while swimming laps.  as I came into the shallow end, I saw something floating in the pool...and, whoops!  thankfully, I found it before anyone else did!  P.

I wear my regular prostheses in a non-pocketed bra (they're silicone with microfiber backs), but I always wear a pocketed swimsuit. (For me, a Land's End tankini with Amoena leisure forms, Style 126, works well.) I'm not one who wants to draw attention to myself--wouldn't want a boob or two floating on the water!

txgrl01, I hope you your meeting at church with you friends went okay . . . 

Hi Sam,

I remember your username from way back when! No, they're not contact forms. They're made by Airway and called Tritex. They're silicone forms but the back of the form (the part that's against the skin) has a layer of soft microfiber--they really are soft and comfortable against my skin and I don't perspire at all in them. I highly recommend them. I had radiation on one side and am a bit fearful of the contact forms, though some women love them. With the Tritex forms, I can wear any bra and they're easy on my skin.

I see that you're from the UK. I believe that in Europe these forms are marketed by Anita. Here's a link to their website: http://www.anita.com/de/en/0,2,105,1490,39070__products-detail.htm. Or, if you wanted to order them from the U.S., here's a link to an American online company that sells them: http://www.womanspersonalhealth.com/products/190/Tritex-Triangular-Breast-Form.htm. Hope this helps!

Yes!  We all have those moments.  Mine came IN church this spring at Easter service.  A lady who also attends regularly leaned over to us and told my 4 year old son how handsome he looked in his new suit.  I was sporting a new short wig for spring and she commented that she liked my new hairdo.  My son promptly returned with, "It's a wig!"  I just held my head high and said, "Thank you, Thomas.  Now let's sit down."

Now, it is definitely a moment to laugh about. 

As is the time he blew of my wig at the science museum.  I was VERY thankful that time that there was no one else on the floor!

Hi

The first day I wore my wig out shopping, my son and I went into a gift shop. We were looking at this copper wire thing on a styrofoam head, wondering what it was, when the shop owner approached us and offered to demonstrate it on me. It was a head massager! Needless to say, I declined the offer.
