Post Mastectomy Help Needed

[Sonriendo]

Wondering if any of you lovely ladies can help.

I have a friend IRL who had a mastectomy 2 years ago. She is now fully recovered from the cancer, but also suffers from Rhuematism (sp). Because she had radiotherapy, the doctors are recomending that she waits a litle longer for reconstruction surgery. She also lives in Spain and is finding it very difficult to find summer wear, bikinis and t-shirts etc.

Does anybody know of or has experienced a company who specialise in clothing of this type. Web adresses and the willingness to mail to Spain being the important criteria.

My friend is only 35 years old and has been very brave throughout the whole experience. She is very down about the whole thing at the moment and as they are a family of beach babes, it has caused them to change their lifestyle a fair bit.

Hope someone out there can help.

Thanks in anticipation.

Aw, sorry I can't help, I have no idea.
Hope she turns the corner soon & starts to feel better about herself, and hopefully she won't have to wait too long for the op.

Thanks for that chuckle_monster, I will look into these and forward them on to her. She has been very brave throughout, but is starting to get a bit down now. She does not know whether reconstruction will be possible at all, due to the radiotherapy treatment, so not surprisingly this has caught her unawares a little.
