Different Types of Metastatic Breast Cancer Bracelets

adminLeave a Reply

Through some of my metastatic breast cancer support groups, I’ve seen various types of bracelets for metastatic breast cancer. Some are practical like a medical alert bracelet and others just help you express yourself with regards to this shitty disease. Here are some of my personal favorites.

Customized Medical ID Bracelet

This is practical and beautiful. The engraving is free and you can choose from several different color combinations. This photo shows Rose Gold with white medical symbol. You could include information on which arm is preferred for blood draws. This is pretty important for me since my left arm is useless for draws (vein rolls around too much).

“Fuck Cancer” Morse Code Bracelet

This one is pretty damn cool and stealthy. As a kinda geeky person, it hits that note for me as well. It’s unisex so it can work for a man or a women and though it’s not Metastatic Breast Cancer specific, I appreciate it’s clandestine messaging. They also offer some other variations like “Warrior” and “Never Give Up”

“Keep Fucking Going” Bracelet

This is another option to keep the message to yourself. There are plenty of other phrases available. Some of my favorites include “You’re awesome – keep that shit up” and “let that shit go”

There are options for friends/family/supporters as well like “Best Bitches”

“I am the Storm” Empowering Bracelet

This was shared in my group and I just thought the design was beautiful. Like the other bracelets I’ve mentioned, they offer other options. I like “Gratitude” and “Choose Joy”

Beaded Metastatic Breast Cancer Bracelet

If you are looking for something in the MBC colors, this one I saw on Etsy is unique and cool looking. Most breast cancer stuff is pink. However, the colors of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are pink, teal, and green. It’s nice to see bracelets that represent MBC!

Tennis Bracelet in Metastatic Breast Cancer colors

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on this one a few times. It’s lovely and subtly uses the pink, teal and green colors of MBC. This is one item from the “MBC Collection”‘ by ShimmerByCindy. It’s brass with cubic zirconias.

The really cool thing is that “100% of the profits during October are donated to Light Up MBC/Metavivor”

Cancer “Freebies”

admin

Cancer sucks so it’s nice that there are some organizations that offer free retreats/gifts/etc. for cancer patients. This is a list of some that I have heard about. I can’t personally vouch for many of them personally, but have seen other patients post about them in cancer groups. Feel free to comment on others that you know of and I can add them to the list.

Mary’s place by the Sea – “Mary’s Place by the Sea welcomes WOMEN diagnosed with any type of cancer, who are in active treatment or up to one year post-treatment. “

Little Pink Houses of Hope – “Little Pink Houses of Hope empowers breast cancer patients and families to live each day to the fullest, with direction, purpose, and hope for the cancer journey. We accomplish this through free, week-long vacation retreats.”

One Day to Remember – Parents with advanced-stage cancer go through a lot. So do their young children. One Day to Remember provides these families with one fun, cost-free day to enjoy making memories together.

Tenaciously Teal – Cancer care package

Gracies Foundation – free cancer care package. I did get this package and it was a nice little gift to get!

Cancer Card Xchange – “The Cancer Card Xchange distributes one-time gifts of various gift cards to verified cancer patients.” – check back often. They run out and then start it back up later.

Camp Kesem – “Kesem is the largest national organization dedicated to supporting children impacted by a parent’s cancer, at no cost to families. ” – My son did this last summer. WONDERFUL organization! I highly recommend.

Cleaning for a reason – “Any woman, man, or child in active cancer treatment may apply for services. Due to demand, patients are eligible to receive just one round of services through our program.”
