WOW!! I’ve just had to tell you what a difference a bra makes since my mx and reconstruction I’ve been wearing a compression bra from M&S ( bought 2 advised by BCN cost £25 each) and felt miserable everyday for the past 4 weeks
Sunday I ordered pack of post op mastectomy bra from Asda online after talking to someone who’s had a mx ( bought pack of 2 £15) and as soon as I put it on the relief was just amazing today I feel I have turned a corner to feeling well again, feeling me, feeling better, feeling comfortable I’m laid here in bed thinking I’ve only took one lot of paracetamols today up until today I’ve been having 2 every 4 hours I think I might even sleep the whole night through tonight
the difference is unbelievable the band under the breast is so much wider so instead of cutting half way across The saline port it sits perfectly covering it completely under the armpit is lower so not cutting across the lymph nodes scar or too high up underneath my armpit, it’s still snug so still giving the support needed
Im so happy right now
just got to get through my first chemo on Friday now but think I’ll handle it so much better now I’ve found Asda bras and feel so much more comfortable xx
