Medicare and mastectomy

I will be the first admit, I don’t know what it feels like to have cancer or go through all the treatments that cure you of cancer.  Thats not to say I don’t see the effects of it or the emotions is brings out in people.

I work at company called Close To You and we work with breast cancer patients on nearly a daily basis.  Some are fresh out of surgery, while others are years out and are multi-year survivors.  Some are in their 20’s and 30’s and others are in their 60’s and 70’s.  No matter where they are, it can be a rollercoaster of emotions.  Something I have learned from the years is that you actually have the choice of how you are going to deal with it.

We see cancer patients that are just angry and mad at the world becuase of the situation they are in.  You know, I might be in that boat as well, if in the same situation.  We have had patients come in for fittings as mad as can be, but here is the cool part.  When our ladies fit them, talk to them, and treat them like a normal person, that mad feeling melts away and they open up and are actually some of the sweetest people.  That one thing everyone should know, dealing with cancer can bring a wide range of emotions, anger being a common one.  Past the anger is a person dealing with a lot of things, treat them with compassion and you will get more out of that relationship than you could have ever imagined.

Actually, that is a good life lesson everyone can use.

Now, to what I orginally wanted to mention. Medicare….  oooooo…   I know, that brings a wide range of emotions also.  I wanted to pass on information that I don’t if to many mastectomy patients know about.  Medicare does cover for breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras.  Medicare will cover one prosthesis every other year and 6 bras a year; three every six months.  So if you are on medicare and need these products, you can get coverage for them.  If you have questions you can call our store and talk to our certified fitters about coverage or about specific breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras.
