Since most of us have to wear a bra, it sure is nice when you find one that fits great so that you aren't constantly waiting for that very moment you can rip it off and go AWWWWW! lol

Last year when I was DX was the first time in my life I realized I really never had a bra that fit perfect. (Always thought I did.) Ha. But the cancer center I go to have this little store inside that sells prothesis, bra's, camisoles, hats, & all kinds of things for us ladies going through trt. After my mastectomy the nurse practioner took me down there and the ladies set me up with a cami to start with. But later THEY fitted me with a bra once my drain was out. It was PURE heaven. I have never in my life put a brand new bra on that felt GREAT from the get go! I wish I would of known of this place long before my DX.

So I can kind of relate to how you are feeling. That is awesome that the lady is sending you a gift certificate for another one. It sure paid off to give them a call.m

mSuch a deal.
