a Positive Appearance shop/boutique in the

hospital where I had treatment. It's actually a " Dale Post-Surgical

Bra " that is latex free, cost me $36 there; Maybe you can order

there over the phone and have it shipped for a fee. This Positive

Appearance Center is part of the Wayne Cancer Institute,

affiliated with St s Hospital, in Santa CA. Reportedly,

it's one of the top 10 boutiques like this in the country. The

phone number is 310/582-7036; keep mind that's Pacific Coast time,

and I think the boutique hours are 10am-4pm Pacific Time. Just

leave a message if you get a recording; she could be out or tied up

helping another patient. I don't have a web address for the

boutique. But just call 310/582-7036!

A quick Google search also turned up this link:

But I'd call the number above first. The Dale bra is recommended

for use after mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation, mammosite,

reconstruction, etc. No seams!

Good luck!
