Today, 150 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Imagine one of them is your friend, your sister, your mum…
.
Gifting a breast cancer cushion is probably the most helpful thing to do. Customers have said this many times.
.
Why ? Because a breast cancer cushion (also called mastectomy pillow but not strictly for mastectomies) will help physically and emotionally.
Physically, it will protect the site of the incisions, the sensitive skin around the healing wounds, including in the armpit if lymph nodes have been removed. It will rest the arm and make sleeping more comfortable.
Emotionally, it’s a comforter, something to hug on tough days. There will be tough days, wobbly days, tearful days. People bond with their cushion as it’s a constant companion.
.
When should you gift a cushion ? A cushion will be helpful after a mastectomy, a lumpectomy and reconstruction surgery. It is useful for a patient to get their cushion on the day of surgery. As patients wake up from surgery, their cushion can give them comfort straight away. Some customers have said that their cushions were a welcome cheer in a clinical world.
