MeausreUp! Magazine world's first post mastectomy fashion magazine launches Facebook Page

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 3, 2012 - The American Cancer Society reports over  2.6 million women in the United States are breast cancer survivors. Most have had a mastectomy as part of their breast cancer treatment. According to a recent survey, even many of the women who have had breast restoration, require some form of post mastectomy intervention or clothing.

MeasureUp! Magazine is the world's first digital and high end printed magazine dedicated to post mastectomy healthcare options & breast cancer survivor fashion.

Based in Houston Texas, MeasureUp! Media, the publisher of MeasureUp Magazine, will launch the digital format in December 2012.  The magazine's founder, Rhonda F Turner intends to reach out across the spectrum of product designers, lingerie & fashion designers, healthcare providers and prosthetic manufacturers in an effort to raise the bar for post mastectomy products services.

"There is a growing awareness by the fashion industry for the needs of breast cancer survivors.  MeasureUp Magazine will showcase those trends as well as inform on post mastectomy options." The magazine will feature product trends, options, world trends for breast cancer survivors, and feature articles on post mastectomy providers.

Launching in December 2012, Turner adds "Rather than an afterthought, post mastectomy items and services are and should be considered a necessary stage of the breast cancer healing, process. There is no reason those items or services should not be fashionable as well as functional."
