Hi I will be having a lumpectomy and a non cancerous mass and the lymph nodes removed from my right breast, the surgeon is going to also do a breast reduction at the same time on the cancerous breast only, will be doing the left breast at a later date. . I’m at a loss as to what bras to buy and wear, I have looked at loads of front fastening but they are all so different, can anyone give me any tips please. Thank you.
Hello Teresa and thank you for contacting the online community. Apologies for the delay in replying to your post.
Breast Cancer Now has some fantastic information about post-surgery bras on their website, including what types of bra to wear and where you can buy them. If you haven’t already, it might also be worth asking the question on one of our online forums for recommendations and your breast care nurse might be able to help too.
How are you just now Teresa? Is there anything we can help you with?
Remember, we’re here if it helps to talk or if you have any further questions.
Take care.
