I used a fluffy right after my drains were removed and then waited a few weeks after surgery...my fluffy kept riding up and I wouldn't have a clue

very nervous

Hi there..I had a mastectomy seven years ago after first having a lumpectomy...I am glad I did..now I wish I had started with it the

and I know that the deciding time is the hardest...once you have a

treatment plan and start it, things will fall into place...we are all

holding your hand. Please don't feel all alone..
