It was August 2020. Eight months after my long-term partner lost his battle with depression and seven months since the start of the pandemic. I’d worked throughout as a nurse and had just bought my first home. I thought things were finally on the up and there couldn’t possibly be any more surprises. It had been one hell of a year and my life finally felt like mine again. Nothing else could go wrong – surely?!
This is a blog that Caroline wrote for Breast Cancer Now.
After My Surgery I Felt Forgotten by the Lingerie Market
Caroline was diagnosed with breast cancer twice: once in 2012, and again in 2015. Following a double mastectomy and reconstruction, she decided to build her confidence back up by creating a lingerie brand.
I think what what Caroline is doing is fantastic. She’s been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and is now designing bra’s for those who have been through the same. I want to give back to this supportive community, and support people like Caroline who’s aim is to help ladies who have had breast surgery. I want these ladies to have the same experience I did, to buy a bra from someone who just ‘gets it’.
The LoveRose collection will give me a wonderful alternative to the 'oh so beige' post surgery lingerie commonly seen on our high street, and give me confidence in moving forward with this 'new me'!
LoveRose Lingerie will be fantastic, having a range of lingerie and a choice of styles which are pretty and will make me feel feminine again- there's nothing out there.
