ARVADA — October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates one in eight women in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lives.
“She beat it the first time. And then the second time, she came out to visit us in May for my son's birthday and told us the news that it had come back. And it was extremely aggressive, and she was gone within four months," Hufford explained. “Once your mother dies of breast cancer, you try and take the initiative and get mammograms. And I would always have something go off with my mammogram. So, it was always a little scare.
“The thing that handles the drains are just the inside pockets," said Hufford. “To have something attached to you that could possibly tug and catch, and you don't want it to, because not just the fact that it hurts, but you know, you can't have anything rip, it's very sensitive. You need to take care of it.”
“When you get told the news that you have breast cancer, the last thing you want to do is go shopping," said Hufford."What we do is we provide these sweatshirts to the hospitals, or I mail them directly to these women all across the nation. And they just get them before their surgery so that they can have this apparel to be able to live their lives. Go outside, you know, after the surgery and not have these drains tugging, getting tangled, what have you.
