Hi guys
I am due to have a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery and have been told to buy a front fastening sports bra. I have been given one bra by the hospital to use straight after. I am struggling to know which is best to get at not a ridiculous price. I’m finding it all really overwhelming
any recommendations welcome
thanks
Hi and welcome I didn't have reconstruction so hopefully some one who did will come on with answer . What I do know is that Asda sell a post surgery front fastening twin pack which a lot of people have recommended . Very reasonably priced .
Not to worry bout feeling overwhelmed just take a breath . Try not to go too far forward just focus on one step at a time worrying about things too far forward is a waste of your energy . You will cope because you are stronger than you think we all are !
This is the best place to be to get answers and support
Thank you Margaret I appreciate the support. I am trying To take it one step at a time and am currently waiting for a date for my DIEP flap surgery and with this pandemic going o it just feels a bit much

Hi think you might find a few people on the diagnosis / treatment thread who are waiting for dates as well have a browse around it helps with the waiting .
