The perfect gift after surgery “soft as feathers and same the price as flowers”

After upper body surgery such as a mastectomy the patient will NOT want any thing to touch and aggravate the surgery site nor anything that will put pressure nor stress on the lymphatic system. The patented healincomfort shirt was created and designed to be a gentle as FEATHERS so the patient can heal in comfort and dignity. The great news is we work really hard to keep the cost down so helping and providing a real solution for a real problem is the same price as flowers.

How the healincomfort post op shirt helps and why was it created.

Here are a couple of testimonies mostly from nurses

I loved the Heal in Comfort Post-op recovery kit! I’m a nurse and I know that these kinds of things make a big difference to making people feel better in that healing time. Well done.

Hey Cherie – the nurses at Seton Williamson were blown away by the healincomfort shirts that mom wore these past couple weeks! They even handed out information to a few other patients. Mom was in for two different surgeries and had her shirts with her both times.

I wanted to Thank you so much for getting my shirts to me so fast. They are so soft & feel so yummy. All the nurses & doctors at hospital loved them too.

Thank god for your shirt leaving hospital yesterday! Thank you for you being you and what you have created!
Oh my gosh, you are truly an angel. Jean gave the healincomfort shirts to doctors, patients, and nurses and they all loved them as I did. You really get tired of pulling something over your head or buttoning and unbuttoning. UNC knows your shirt at their new cancer center for sure. Thanks for all your support.

I wore my recovery shirt that Cherie Mathews sent me from www.healincomfort.com. It had pockets for all drains which made it so nice. The nurses at the hospital loved it!!
Just wanted you to know that I ordered your shirt for my mom last week, she received it Saturday and had her mastectomy this past Wednesday. She had looked everywhere for something to wear in Clearwater, FL and found nothing. I looked online and found your site and promptly ordered from you. She has received so many compliments from the nurses and staff and says the shirt is “Perfect”…comfy, easy to put on and the pockets make the drainage bags much more manageable. She looks forward to using the lanyard and the little apron. Thank you so much for making these available. She is passing your website information on to the nurses. Thank you thank you!

healincomfort is honored to meet Dr. Oz

My name is Cherie B. Mathews, 12 year breast cancer survivor in Austin,Texas. I bootstrapped my business healincomfort to help other breast cancer patients heal in comfort after mastectomy, radiation and chemo. I was invited by The F7 Group to the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, there I met the amazing Dr. Oz. Dr Oz is absolutely brilliant, a true healer and one who walks his talk. Dr. Oz was friendly and truly interested in my vision for healincomfort and helping women heal in comfort and dignity all over the USA. We are hoping to be working with The F7 Group to help our Military Hospitals and the VA Hospitals so our Vets and Military personal can heal in comfort and dignity after surgery or while recovering from an injury.

Cancer patients deserve to healincomfort. Honored to meet Dr. Oz.

NFL Saints punter Thomas Morstead describes the healincomfort shirt as he hands them out to breast cancer patients. Thomas states in the video that his Mom had a mastectomy and one of the frustrating parts was managing the drains post surgery. The good news is the healincomfort shirt offers a solution for those drains and allows women to heal in comfort and dignity, so honored to help.

Fruits and Vegetables reduce Breast Cancer Recurrence

**Researchers from the University of California studied more than 1,550 women previously treated for breast cancer. After 5 years of follow-up, they found that women with the highest plasma carotenoid concentration had a reduced risk for breast cancer recurrence by 40%. The result of this study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on September 20, 2005.

Editor’s Note: Plasma Carotenoid = Fruits & Vegetables Intake
It has been known for some time that fruit and vegetable consumption helps prevent cancer. High plasma carotenoid concentration is an indication of high intake of fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene (carrot, spinach, kale and cantaloupe), lycopene (tomato, pink grapefruit, watermelon and apricots) and lutein (dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, collards, kale and broccoli) are members of the carotenoid family. This study affirmed that eating more fruits and vegetables may prevent breast cancer from returning among breast cancer survivors.

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, folate and potassium and they are low in fat and calories. In addition to their role in cancer protection, studies showed that they also help prevent stroke and heart disease. A recent study published in January 2006 conducted by London researchers showed that eating 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of stroke by 25 percent compared to those who ate only 3 servings daily.

healincomfort.com cares!




As a breast cancer survivor, Cherie B. Mathews founded healincomfort® in 2009 to help women heal in comfort and dignity after surgery in their battle against breast cancer.

Invented, created and inspired from her own post-operative experience — not being provided with the right equipment to go home in — Cherie designed this super- soft, moisture-management post-operative shirt (patented 2012) to keep the patient dry and comfortable.

healincomfort shirts are manufactured in the USA and over 400 healincomfort shirts have been gifted to Breast Cancer Centers across Texas as a way of giving back and to provide for local breast cancer patients including; St. David’s Medical Center, Conroe Regional Medical Center,
M.D. Anderson, Texas Oncology, Houston Medical Center, Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center, and
Memorial Hermann. Healincomfort believes in giving back while building her company that reaches all across the USA and even in England.

In 2010, Cherie was awarded the Small Business Entrepreneur of the Year Award by austinwoman Magazine.  She was also recognized by Cambridge "Who's Who" for her dedication and business leadership, and was a finalist for the 2010 Fearless Woman Award from the Austin eWomenNetwork.

2012 promises to be a stand out year for both Cherie and healincomfort, and you can help! Participate in the “Gift a Shirt” program and provide Austin breast cancer patients with healincomfort shirts for same price as flowers.  Purchase a shirt today and help us make a difference.
