Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / August 2007Another prosthesis question
I've had my 6 wk prosthesis fitting in hospital and the one I've got is Trulife Harmony Plus Tri 402-04. That fits me perfectly. (I'm bra size 34B) Can someone translate that 402 - 04 size into what size I need from, say, Nicola Jane products as I want to buy some prosthesis for my swimming costume. I've already returned sizes 6, 5 and 4 prosthesis to Nicola Jane. Sizes 6 and 5 were too big and size 4 was too small. These sizes confuzzle me!

Before ordering 6, and after returning 5. Then after returning 4 I gave up and got a refund. I'm now desperate to order online so need to get it sorted. I'm getting fed up of going to the Post office. Splodge Could you maybe try another style of form. I had to try multiple ones before I found the type that "fit right". >>>I've had my 6 wk prosthesis fitting in hospital and the one I've got is >>>Trulife Harmony Plus Tri 402-04.

When you say try another style of form, what do you mean? Another shape? I just want to order more prostheses (for swimming etc) online, but I don't know what size I want. What does size 402-04 actually mean? Splodge > Could you maybe try another style of form. I had to try multiple ones > before I found the type that "fit right".

Some forms, even though they were my size had too much projection and actually looked bigger than my size. The form that I finally settled on is a size smaller than my original size but is shaped more like I was. The same form in my original size was way too big. If I haven't completely confused you that's good. Tammy >I took my hospital prosthesis into a local department store and they only >had two bras in 34B.

Are you on a waiting list, or what? Eva Oh - long story. I wanted to have Dr. Alan from the Breast Reconstruction Center. However, he doesn't accept my insurance. My insurance company won't make an exception for me for this procedure so I would have to put up $11,000 up front for the surgery. I met with the surgeon who does the procedure here at the Medical Center where I go. The surgery here takes 12 hours vs 6 hours with Dr. Alan for a bilat. Patient's have been discharged as soon as 4 days from Dr. Alan but here it is 7 days in the hospital. She didn't have any pictures of any patients and promised to get them to me but so far hasn't, I should call her back. Then I went and broke my arm in June and have been out of work for 10 weeks now. I don't see how I will be able to request 6 more weeks off as the Dr. here has strict restrictions on going back to work, even no driving for 6 weeks. So...I'm still wearing my forms :( Tammy >> Yes, I meant another shape maybe. I had to try multiple shapes to get >> the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Eva |
