Hello, this is my first time posting, looking for some people in a similar situation to walk the journey with! I'm 47 and was diagnosed with grade 2 invasive breast cancer (hormone receptive) at the start of the summer. I had a lumpectomy and removal of 3 lymph nodes a week ago and am recovering at home. I was told at the outset I would have radiotherapy and hormone drugs but waiting for results of the op before I get a more defined treatment pathway. I have 3 kids age 15, 13 and 9 who are all coping amazingly well with my illness and a very supportive husband - I am very thankful!
Just currently trying to work out comfortable bras! I am currently finding a non padded, non wired one from M&s comfortable but would love something slightly padded. Anyone found anything good?
welcome, i found a zip up sports bra from M&S good, it has some padding and no holes for prosthetis, but held me up and in,and when the surgeon saw it said, good bra,
Flexifit
Non Wired Full Cup Bra, not a racerback, has a hook and a zip
also be aware you can get VAT relief because of your diagnosis
Hi and welcome-this is my first time posting anything too!
You sound really quite similar to me. I’m 44 and had a lumpectomy and 3 nodes removed at the start of July. I feel very fortunate and thankful too as I got a good clearance and no spread to lymph nodes so I’m going ahead with radiotherapy, which I’m still waiting for. I’ve already started on Tamoxifen.
With regards to the bras - I found the Asda soft comfort non-wired bras to be really comfy 
I unfortunately still have a haematoma following surgery but still find those bras to be the comfiest.
Really hoping for good results for you too
it’s not too painful thanks-just very solid and a bit tender!
No worries - they're quite reasonable too so probably worth a look
