How to shop for a bra . . . and other things nobody told you about this all-important undergarment

Bethany Westover never had a problem buying bras. She could always count on finding a few cute, cheap ones almost anywhere she shopped.

Then, in August 2006, the 26-year-old Red Lion woman had a baby, and everything changed.

Her old bras started to feel tight.

She bought a sports bra, but that didn't fit right either.

So she bought a different bra.

Then another.

And another.

Finally, Westover broke down and spent nearly $40 on a Victoria's Secret number. "That really hurt," she said. "I'm a waitress and that's half a day's tips sometimes."

These women are warriors.
They might look like your neighbor, your child’s teacher, your pew companion when you worship.
That’s because they are.
They might seem just like you, your sisters and your mother — chasing grandchildren, planning vacations, picking up groceries.
They are.
These women also have — and are — waging a war on a disease that has crept into their bodies, disrupted their lives, altered their family.
They are cancer survivors.
