Did you use comfort pillows during or after treatment for breast cancer? I had a small rectangular pillow that I held under my arm, slipped under my seatbelt, and sat on at church. If you used a comfort pillow, or made one for someone else, how did it help? What's your best ways to use little comfort pillows? Your Pillow Uses

My little pillow

I had intravenous chemo, and my arm that it was in hurt from the many injections they gave me. I brought this little pillow my daughter made in Kindergarten (it had happy faces and butterflies on it).It was just the right size for the arm to rest on. Later that night I used it for my neck and other places on my lower back that had been stressed that day. Without it, the day would have not been as pleasant.

My Favorite Pillow!

This pillow (http://twitpic.com/7le1w) was made for me by my Kaua'i support group when I moved back to California. I hug it whenever I miss them!
