Okay ladies... just because we are missing some boo-bees does NOT mean we are not still sexy... or interested in being sexy. I may be on the really young end of breast cancer at 26 but not EVERYONE that gets breast cancer wants to wear bras that look like they were shaped together out of waffle cones! I cannot imagine being 56 and wanting to wear ugly bras either. If you're having radiation and cant get reconstruction right away for whatever reason... the prostheses are HORRIBLE. They're heavy, squishy, don't cover the right tissue, pokey, sweaty, stupid shapes not made for women that have concave chests after a mastectomy.
Step one... dear boob and bra designers. These are boobs. They come in several shapes and sizes. Secondly... here is a graphic depiction of what I look like... other women may vary of course but the anatomy of a missing boob is pretty predictable. It's sort of concave... bewbage used to be there... but now it is not. Why on earth are you designing prostheses that don't fit our shapes?
Thirdly... the bras. C'mon. We're done wearing the anti-sex 2000. Amoena and other bra makers, breast cancer patients aren't puritanical prudes. Women need to feel good about themselves... especially with all that we have to put up with with having breast cancer.ugly I drew all of these for you women on here. I hope you enjoy them. I hope they make you laugh at our shared plight and brighten your day.
-Tracey.
