My story. I suppose it starts with the frightening word CANCER. Fear became the biggest challenge to overcome, being replaced by faith. Faith that I could take it day by day, appreciating the gift of life. My breast cancer suddenly threw a wrench in my busy schedule. As a physical therapist, I had treated patients with cancer for over twenty years. Now that I was one of the patients, I assumed I would have everything I needed for my treatments to go as smoothly as possible.
All went as expected as I went through my surgery and chemotherapy. Radiation proved to be a difficult treatment for me as my breast became blistered and inflamed a few weeks into treatment. I had followed all the recommendations, but told to expect my breast to get worse. The raw pain of my skin became too much, so I eventually had to wear a plastic container on my breast under my shirt to take pressure off the constant rubbing of my clothes. Image how difficult it was to return to work, taking care of a farm, and taking care of my family during this time.
I just wanted to come up with a product to help others and get relief for any breast discomfort. My new skin was so sensitive, which is what lead me to search for the perfect camisole and bra, which now we have created at Pink Lift.
So you know sometimes you just meet people and you "click". That feeling that it was meant to be. That's exactly what happened when I met Susan and within a short space of time we were great friends. Two years later Susan got the news that she had breast cancer.
I felt useless, but had to be strong for her. So Chemo Buddy was the best thing for her. When chemo was finally done, now was the time for her radiation appointment. They basically told her that this part should be a lot easier especially how strong she was through chemotherapy. I watched Susan struggle as her skin started to blister and burn to the point where her quality of life was really affected. She struggled at work and at home due to the pain of wearing clothes and was very difficult to handle. That's when Susan was telling me the only comfort was to put Tupperware on her breast to relieve the pain.
That's when the conversations of kids homework changed to let us design a bra to relieve the discomfort. So together Susan and I started to create designs and molds and that's how Pink Lift was created. Confidence with comfort for women going through radiation, breast feeding and biopsies, or any woman who wants ultimate comfort in a bra.
