All tag results for 'mastectomy'

Looks like an online petition asking Victoria's Secret to make mastectomy bras is not happening.

Despite Allana Maiden and her mother Debbie Barrett collecting 120,000 signatures asking the lingerie label to create a bra for breast cancer survivors, and even meeting with some of the VS execs, it turns out that after some research, the panty giant's decided to not make the designs.

Victoria's Secret released a statement, saying:

When it comes to breast cancer, many would assume that a mastectomy would be the best way to ensure survival.

Turns out that a new study of over 100,000 woman with breast cancer found that that's not necessarily true!

Christina Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 because of a mutation in a gene passed down from her mother, also a breast cancer survivor.

To make sure she'd be disease free, she had a double mastectomy.

While she's come to terms with being a cancer survivor she still knows things are different, saying:

"I miss my exquisite breasts sometimes."

That's a reference to a line in her movie Anchorman! Ha!

But she did actually have a pretty tough time, dealing with something so personal so publicly.

The last three months of 2011 were definitely trying ones for Giuliana Rancic.

She discovered she had breast cancer, her initial treatments failed, and she went through with a double mastectomy.

A lot to take in!! We applaud her for going through all of it with the strength she had. Mastectomy wasn't the last resort yet, but she went ahead and chose it because life far outweighed anything else for her.

And her husband
