Apparently I have mild lymphodema, and I was told to buy a sports bra which supports the under arm area.  I have tried on all the sports  bras I could find in my size (including non post surgery ones) but they are all too low. I've tried M&S, John Lewis,  Primark, Uniqlo TKmaxx, Selfridges (none to be seen there!). I have a long body and wide rib cage so I'm a 40C, but found with M&S their sizing was over the place, with the band on a 42B smaller than the 40 or 38! George aren't supportive enough though I have lived in their post surgery bras,  so they're out too. 

Can anyone suggest where I could look,  with the importance being they come up the side near the armpit? Help!
