The pillow was helpful. The cushion for the car seat belt is even more necessary. The shirts with inside pockets are nice for when you go out, you can put the pumps in the pockets and people don't see them and it takes the weight off them when they fill up. Nonsugar crackers were essential, too, for me as my belly kept getting upset. Good luck. I am still struggling after 7 weeks with the mastectomies....right is okay but left had an infection and hurts a lot. Keep smiling......
