As you see, supporting Breast Cancer fundraising is pretty easy.  But for those already suffering and coping, it's tough.  The accompanying complications only makes the journey bumpier and lonelier.

Here are some thoughtful products that can make road smoother...

Madcapz are a chic twist on the baseball cap-- a unique design created just for women. A selection from the PINK Madcapz line makes a thoughtful gift for a cancer patient experiencing hair loss from chemo. In fact, Madcapz were created by a stylish woman who was losing her hair from Grave’s Disease and couldn’t find a cute cap to wear! Now, she’s helping other women feel feminine and chic with these cute caps. Madcapz will donate 20% of all October online sales to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. http://madcapz.net/

For those unlucky enough to discover then lost a breast or both at the late stages of breast cancer, there's a discreet and considerate recovery robe designed to disguise and cope during recovery, The Brobe.

The Recovery Brobe is a luxurious robe with an attached bra, designed for women who have undergone a mastectomy or have had breast reconstructive surgery. The award winning robe has pockets inside to hold post-op drains, and pockets are also built in the bra to hold ice packs during the healing process. This lightweight, soft loungewear has ¾ sleeves and hits just about the knee in length. What’s more, 10% of sales are donated to breast cancer research. http://thebrobe.com/.

Many women with breast cancer experience chemotherapy-induced menopause.
