These are wellness and recovery products that have been sent to DIEPCFoundation.org for our review. I have also interviewed or met some of the nonprofit organization leaders from the links listed below. We think you will want to check them out for you or a friend who is recovering from breast cancer or breast reconstruction surgery.
We plan ahead for treatment and surgery but for many, these wellness and recovery products will help you as you continue to heal through your own personal Journey.
