Re: I have to gripe
Stupid cancer! I recall feeling just like you. It takes awhile to find your pace and what feels right I ditched the wig pretty early on. Could not stand that THING on my head. Wore hats and scarves etc instead. It took me a lot of trial and error before finding the bra arrangement that works for me. Finally have settled on the Coobie bra which is not even intended for mastectomy patients. I donated a whole lot of stuff to Look Good, Feel Better. The ACS program that gives supplies to new patients
Keep the faith. And it's cool that you are annoyed. That means you are probably feeling better! At least you are not thinking about cancer
