Young was recovering from a mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis that had hit as a “total surprise.” “If somebody you work with knows you had a mastectomy, they’re going to be looking at your chest.” Like Young, Satterfield had undergone a mastectomy after a doctor caught 15 breast cancer cells. Like Young, Satterfield was disappointed by the online inventory of “bowling balls,” silicone and what she described as “shoulder pads.” Young knits handmade cotton breast prostheses, named My Bosom Buddy, for those who have gone through mastectomies.
