MoB, by federal law, your insurance is required to cover a reduction of the unaffected breast to bring you symmetry, if it's worth it to you to have the surgery.

Hugs and continued good health to both of you.

Team Survivor is a fabulous resource, if you haven't found them already.

Lots of very cool women, in all stages of treatment and recovery, with lots of ideas for dealing with nuts-and-bolts things like breast prosthesis. I rode and swam with them for a year. (Looooong after my cancer, when I had an emotional existential freak-out OMG delayed reaction to it. Being around a bunch of women who had the same odd sense of proportion and sense of humor and love of everything instantly calmed me down.)

I remember a couple women talking about how they were managing bras and jerseys to avoid irritating their picc line sites...

Team Survivor is just an incredible thing, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Also, take a look at Title 9 Sports' regular catalog and their "Bounce" bra catalog. They have a few things with prosthesis pockets. Underwear catalog: http://www.shopbounce.com/home.do and their regular catalog: http://www.titlenine.com/

Knotted Yet,

Thanks for the links and suggestions. I haven't heard of Team Survivor, but it does look like an amazing resource. It is inspiring to hear the stories of people who have dealt with similar struggles.
