What a wonderful feeling - yesterday went and got post mastectomy bra and puffs - felt like the remaining 38D girl now has company. Not ready for prostesis fitting yet but what a wonderful feeling it is to get to this point. Still have some pain and the numbness is there but things are so much better in the past week; I am confident that it will only continue to go this way; realisticallty I know there will still be some bad ones but as long as there are more good than bad I'm OK. Thanks for all the support from you folks!!!

    Don't be in a hurry!
    My biggest suggestion is that you don't get in a hurry to get your pros. The 'fluff' was great and woked in my pre-mastectomy bras - but not the final answer. My local ACS sent me one within the week after surgery (Oct 09) - got my pros. in Jan 10.

    Pain has neer been a problem for me - there is still a lot of numbness which I'm sure will be there forever..
