: My aunt is on Medicare and she gets 6 bras a year and 2 prostheses (single mastectomy). My insurance only pays for 2 bras and 2 prostheses. When I still had one boob, it paid for 2 bras and one prosthesis. ... I don't wear a bra since the 2nd mast., so I just donate them to the store's "angel closet" for those who don't have insurance at all. See ya in OKC soon! Hugs, KLIPKURL wrote:

Also, youmight want to talk to the lady who fits both me and Cheryl for ourprosthesis and bras...her bras are not that expensive unless the pricehas changed in the last month or two.Lynn I am sorry to hear this news. You know thoI had a partial mast, and I wish I had gone for the whole kit andkaboodle. I have a breast that doesnt fill out a bra and the nipple ispointing straight up while the other is letting nature take it coursewith. You know hanging down the belly. lol Anyway good luck with thenext surgery. > Hugs > Jeana >
