Hi, my name is Cherie Mathews, the founder and inventor of the Healincomfort recovery shirt. Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease that has not been witnessed in my family DNA before. I was the athletic one – a long-distance runner – but I was the one diagnosed with breast cancer.
I know you know how scary receiving this diagnosis is. But for those who have only ever known someone who has received this news, it’s a terrifying time. I had to have a double mastectomy in my battle against breast cancer and when I woke up after surgery the first thing I asked my husband was to hand me the ‘True Red’ lipstick that I brought with me. I needed to feel attractive. However, as you can imagine, the lipstick only helped so much.
My frustration and anger started when the nurse tried to get me dressed in what I had been instructed to bring – an old button down dress shirt from my husband’s closet or something like it- I had no idea how emotionally devastating that would feel after my breasts had just been removed.
The pain from the movement of trying to get my arms into that shirt was too much and I got sick. The nurse’s frustration set in and she snapped at me asking why I brought “that shirt”. My response to this was, “Why don’t you provide something? I do not understand why I would be in trouble for guessing incorrectly. What do you provide?”
The nurse, in response, suggested that they provide safety pins so I could pin the surgical drains that are sewn into my body to the outside of that shirt.
This was unacceptable. I did not want to go home to my young children and walk through the door in a man’s dress shirt, my breast removed, surgical drains sewn into my body visible for all the world to see only being held in place by – safety pins!
I ask you, does it seem fair that a sprained elbow receives a sling but I have to guess what appropriate recovery equipment is after just having a mastectomy? I promise you that if a man lost his man parts in the war against cancer they would not be sending him home in his wife’s skirt. It would just be wrong. So then, why is it okay for a woman to be sent home in a men’s dress shirt when she has just lost her breasts?
When I got home I laid in my bed for three days until I eventually shuffled into my closet to look for something new and clean to wear. And that’s when it hit me. I had absolutely nothing in that closet that was big and loose, or that would feel comfortable on my skin or that wouldn’t take a serious act of God to get on. The only clothes available were golf clothes, motorcycle clothes, or dress clothes. I cried. But then remembered that I am a problem solver and at that moment, Healincomfort was born.
