Bag and Boob Babes makes comfort items for breast cancer patients, survivors
Losing a body part — a limb, a finger, a breast — is never easy. "When we have parts of our body amputated, there’s something missing," Stephanie Keaty, 58, of Hayden, said Tuesday. "When breasts are amputated, as in a mastectomy, something’s gone." Keaty underwent bilateral mastectomy operations not once, but twice following her initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2005.
