Today marks 3 years since the 3 ladies pictured started sewing mastectomy pillows and sending them to women in need. They’ve shipped these pillows to women and cancer centers all over the U.S. as well as to Canada, Puerto Rico and England. My mom, Jan, and her friends, Judy and Becky (they call themselves The Bosom Buddies) all had daughters diagnosed with cancer in 2016. Out of that very hard thing have come many, many pillows. 1500 and counting. If you, or someone you know could use mastectomy pillows, please feel free to follow this link to our request form….

Cancer is a taker. Breast cancer sometimes takes one or both breasts. It often takes hair. It always has financial cost. And it always steals away sweet time. One woman who went through a bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction, intensive chemo and radiation…
Mastectomy Pillows My mom and her friends continue to make armpit pillows for mastectomy patients. They ship these all over the US, and through their act of service to others I’ve been able to have some lovely email conversations with women who are making their way through breast cancer. These pillows are FREE. If you are interested, go to my FREE Mastectomy pillow tab at the top of my website and fill out the form. All mom needs from you is a name, the type of request (one pillow, two pillows, seatbelt cover), a shipping address…
