Announcement
Welcome to Precious Survivors, where we offer handmade, personal gifts for surgery patients. My line of breast surgery gifts is specially made to bring smiles and comfort during times when both are hard to come by.
After retiring from a long career in global marketing and following my second breast cancer diagnosis in 2011, I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Having discovered that I passed the BRCA2 gene mutation to my then-21-year-old daughter, she had a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction on her Spring Break of her senior year of college (instead of celebrating with her friends on a holiday).
I started this shop to provide comfort and smiles to surgery patients. I am an artist and a craftsman, living in the Sierras near Yosemite National Park. A two time breast cancer survivor, I maintain my health by kayaking, walking, hiking, and exercising my 60-pound Labrador puppy.

5 out of 5 starsThis item was a gift for a friend living in another state so I haven't seen the pillow but my friend seemed pleased. What stood out to me - and was appreciated so much - was the shop owner's help. She rushed the shipping so my friend could have the pillow in time for her lumpectomy and was super awesome about the whole exchange. Thank you so much!!!
