Black Women and Breast Cancer Disparities | BIPOC. Black women are disproportionately impacted by breast cancer. In recent years, breast cancer has surpassed lung as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, but breast cancer prevention has declined dramatically. In an effort to get some clarity on these disturbing figures, we chatted with Dedmon about cancer disparities for Black women, how to bridge the gap, what screenings to get, and so much more. 

 

Because we hate drains so much, and wanted to make the lives of everyone going through a mastectomy as easy as possible, we designed the Miena Robe with a game-changing feature: The Drain Belt. Read along and learn how this one revolutionary design feature will change the way you heal from your mastectomy.

AnaOno and Amoena are teaming up to help you shape your way, any day. What do we mean? Both Amoena shapers and AnaOno bras are meant for those who’ve had breast surgeries – and we think they’re better together.

Mastectomy bras are different from other bras in many ways. First, they contain extra soft linings. It’s common after breast surgery to have sensitive skin from scarring, especially in the first few months when the skin is healing. This lining ensures the bras will be comfortable for all-day wear. There are also many non-wired options that contain a thick underband and supportive seams which add to the level of secureness and comfort these bras provide. The straps of mastectomy bras are also different in that they are wide and adjustable, giving you a variety of fitting options.

Here at AnaOno, we have the perfect bras for every single stage of treatment and recovery you go through, and the radiation phase is no exception. Get to know a few of our favorite ultra-soft, luxurious styles designed specifically for you and your needs in mind.

Knowing how many bras you need after your single or double mastectomy can feel just as puzzling as knowing what bras to get in the first place. There are so many stages to surgery, recovery, treatment (and beyond!) that we need bras for. We are here to help you navigate the question: “how many post-mastectomy bras do I need?”

It's tough to know what to do when someone you know gets cancer, let alone what you can give to show you care. While flowers are certainly a nice gesture, giving more thoughtful and useful gifts to someone in your life undergoing cancer treatment will go further in helping during their hard days ahead.

Learning to love your body after a mastectomy surgery, with or without reconstruction can feel overwhelming. The scars, the pain, the discomfort, all of these challenges arise when looking to buy a mastectomy bra, and that is why, we here at AnaOno, want to make sure it is as easy as it can be to find your own beauty.

I was living and working in Afghanistan when I received the email that I had breast cancer. I was alone in my barracks room in Kabul shocked to receive the news as I was young and healthy. I had no idea what this meant for me, my job, or my future.

There’s a lot more to wearing bras with breast cancer than your first surgical bra. Your body and your needs will change after every procedure or treatment method. Whether that’s radiation, lumpectomy, single or double mastectomy, or even reconstruction. We want you to know that for any stage you are in we are here to help. From pocketed bras for forms to comfortable bras after reconstruction, we have the right breast cancer bras for you.
