Testimonials

I had my mastectomy last Tuesday. A friend sent me your site and information. I just found out about my diagnosis in October, and have been devastated. I am as healthy as one can be and thought I wouldn’t have to worry about cancer, but who knew most breast cancers are hormone receptive, and my adrenal glands turned out to be the culprit, producing too much estrogen. I immediately sent you a note asking for your product. Immediate reply said it would be 4 to 6 weeks. I replied that I would not be at my current address at that time, and not sure of where I would be, and asked if you could expedite it. Mara immediately responded, saying she would go to the warehouse and ship out the next day. I received them yesterday and they are wonderful, fitting into my bra perfectly. I cannot thank you enough and am making a donation to your organization.

I wasn’t too thrilled with the name of this group… but I went ahead and asked for 1 to be shipped to me. My very friendly Georgia knitter, Jeane, who made it for me contacted me via email immediately and said she would be working on it. She shipped quickly (no charge for shipping!) and included a special bag to hold it and a couple other goodies. IT FITS/FEELS FANTASTIC… so I ordered a pair of them… so I could have enough to wear/wash. Again my knitter was wonderful. So TRY ONE. You don’t have anything to lose and will be surprised by the comfort! I posted your organization name to my Facebook group and have brochures to leave in my doctor’s office. THANK YOU! (I’ve been wearing a regular prosthesis since 1999.)

While I was incarcerated, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I ended up with a masectomy with no chance of reconstruction. While I was healing from the surgery, I read Ann Landers about information on the Knitted Knockers . SInce I could not recieve one in prison, I got the directions to make one. There are lots of knitters and crocheters in prison. One lady volunteered to make me one and ended up making two for me. I was able to walk around and no one ever knew that I has a masecotmy. It made me feel good. When I was released, I still had no contacts to get a prosthesis, my knocker was all I had to feel “normal”. I just want to say THANK YOU! what a great idea to provide to us survivors. Thanks to all the people who make these wonderful “knockers”! You are all such a blessing!

Thankyou so much to Carole for my knitted knickers, they are so comfortable. Such a fantastic thing to do. With May thanks!

I can NOT say enough how grateful I am to the lovely people that make the knitted knockers!! I am a breast cancer survivor with a double mastectomy. I have the prosthetic breasts but can not tolerate the weight of them along with how they make me sweat. The knitted knockers are a Godsend! They are easy to wash and to place into my bra. Looks just like normal and SO COMFORTABLE!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I got my first set almost 2 years ago and ordering a new set now. Can’t wait for my new knockers!!

A five star salute. I have hated going out in public in warm weather for the last 10 years because the prostheses are so heavy inside the mastectomy bras. Fall and winter jackets and coats allow me to hide the fact that I no longer have breasts. I find the prostheses VERY uncomfortable, and I sweat profusely while wearing them. I also avoid mirrors because I can’t adjust the prostheses so that both breasts appear to be the same size.

I am totally wowed by the lightness and adjustability of the knockers.

Thank you to each and every volunteer knitter and to the Knitted Knockers organization for helping to get the knockers into the hands of those of us who are just now finding a wonderful new solution to a major problem for ladies who did not opt for breast reconstruction after mastectomies.

Love to all!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have tried every kind of prosthesis imaginable and knitted knockers are the BEST!!! Cool, comfortable, convenient, and durable…..they are awesome. I am 3 years out from my initial
mastectomy and these are wonderful when your skin is still healing. Thank you for this amazing product. A true God send for us cancer survivors who have gone through so much already!!!

A big thank you to Gillian George. My lovely parcel arrived with a wonderful gratitude stones. I will have them in my pocket when I go for surgery next week. Thank you so so much xxx

Received my knitted knockers today, they are wonderfully comfortable. I just wanted to say thankyou to all you lovely ladies who give your time and your skills to make them. My prosthetic was so cumbersome and was a constant reminder of my surgery but wearing them today felt so more natural. Thank you Doreen, your little added gift really put a smile on my face and smiles have been rare in recent months as as well has my breast cancer my mum has terminal lung cancer. It truly is a wonderful service that you provide.

I had a mastectomy just over 4 weeks ago and whilst I heal it is difficult to even wear the soft prosthetic they gave me as I am quite bruised. I have ordered a knitted and aqua knocker and have just received my Aqua Knockers from Sarah.
It was beautifully wrapped with a knitted heart and some chocolates and a personal note. Not only is it so lovely and soft and easier to wear but knowing it was caringly made and packaged gives you a warmth of heart that is most welcome at such a difficult time. It will be worn often and treasured always whether swimming or just resting by the fire. Thank you Sarah. Order A1710042
