Hi
Would love to hear from anyone which makes of prosthesis your NHS provider has "allowed" you to have.
My nurse tells me they only get prosthesis from amoena. Anyone had any joy getting an ABC make of prosthesis on the NHS, or anything other than amoena?
Also - what has anyone else's experience been of getting a partial or shell prostheses? Is it normal for the hospital to have none in stock and only to want to order 1, maybe 2 sizes/types and to be told it will take about 6 weeks? I've been unbalanced (physically! I think my mind is hanging in there!) for just over 4 months now which it tricky when one cup is G and the other about a D. Also not a lot of faith that the nurse has ordered something which will fit well - she works really hard but not sure how many partials she has had to measure for/fit.
Tried on an ABC partial prosthesis diamond last week...which seemed great...just know it's going to be a battle to persuade my nurse to order it.
Any helpful comments, much appreciated...I just wanna be back in a proper bra! Beginning to feel like this is asking the earth from my local NHS and its meagre storage cupboard!
