I hate Pinktober. This is year 13 saying that.

But I am going to share something a company is doing that is really good and really helpful.

Thank you Ford Motor Company. It’s called a support belt.

Ever since my surgery, which while called a lumpectomy, it is actually a partial mastectomy and it hurts to wear a seatbelt. It has hurt all these years.

The seatbelt never fits. It shifts. It rubs. It actually does hurt. This is with a little more than half of a breast gone. I can’t imagine how it feels with a full breast gone. I have tried using a small towel. Doesn’t work.

So apparently someone at Ford or in conjunction with Ford has developed a pad accessory and it’s free to breast cancer patients and survivors, but you have to pay shipping.

I ordered one and thank you, Ford.

Finally something to help.
