What services does Embrace Pink offer?

Embrace Pink offers a variety of services to support women through breast cancer recovery and survivorship.

What is a mastectomy bra fitting?

A mastectomy bra fitting is a personalized appointment where a trained specialist helps you find bras and breast forms designed specifically for comfort and support after breast surgery. During the fitting, we focus on proper sizing, balance, and comfort so you can feel confident in your everyday clothing. The goal is to help you feel supported physically while also restoring confidence after surgery.

When should I schedule a mastectomy bra fitting after surgery?

Most women can schedule a mastectomy bra fitting once their surgeon confirms that healing has progressed enough for a fitting, which is often several weeks after surgery. Every recovery is different, so it is always best to follow your doctor’s recommendations. At Embrace Pink, fittings are designed to be gentle, comfortable, and supportive so you can move forward confidently in your recovery.

What should I bring to my mastectomy fitting appointment?

For your appointment, it can be helpful to bring any current bras or breast forms you are using, as well as a comfortable top or clothing you frequently wear. This allows us to help you find the best fit and style for your everyday needs. Most importantly, come as you are — our goal is to create a relaxed and supportive experience focused on your comfort.

What is lymphedema and why is it important to prevent it?

Lymphedema is swelling that can occur when the lymphatic system is affected by cancer treatment, such as lymph node removal or radiation. It most commonly affects the arm on the side of surgery. While not everyone develops lymphedema, there are lifestyle habits and exercises that may help reduce risk. Learning safe movement and early prevention strategies can be an important part of long-term recovery.

Can exercise help after breast cancer surgery?

Yes, gentle movement and guided exercise can play an important role in recovery after breast cancer surgery. Many women experience tightness, limited mobility, or weakness following treatment. Safe stretching and strengthening exercises may help improve range of motion, reduce discomfort, and support overall wellness. It is important to start slowly and follow guidance from trained professionals to ensure movements are appropriate for your stage of recovery.

Do you offer support for life after breast cancer treatment?

Yes. Life after treatment can bring many new challenges — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Embrace Pink offers support designed to help women adjust to survivorship, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with their bodies. Through personalized guidance and supportive conversations, our goal is to help women feel empowered as they move forward in this new chapter.

Do you offer breast cancer support groups?

Yes, Embrace Pink offers opportunities for connection and community where women can share their experiences and support one another. Many breast cancer survivors find comfort in connecting with others who truly understand what they are going through. These supportive spaces provide encouragement, understanding, and a reminder that you are not alone on your journey.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit is focused on getting to know you and understanding where you are in your journey. Whether you are coming for a fitting, support, or guidance, we take time to listen and provide personalized recommendations based on your needs. Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and exploring what support may help you most.

How can Embrace Pink support me emotionally during my breast cancer journey?

A breast cancer diagnosis can bring a wide range of emotions including fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm. Embrace Pink provides a supportive space where women can talk openly about their experiences, receive encouragement, and feel understood. Having a compassionate support system can make a meaningful difference in navigating the emotional side of healing and recovery.
