Hi, just a wee question. It's been 4 weeks today since I had my bi lateral mastectomy. I've been mostly at home so haven't worn any of the bras with softies the hospital very kindly gave me very much. They're OK but obviously it's still a bit tender. I was just wondering when roundabouts is the best time to ask about prosthetics. I don't want to sound pushy or ignorant.

    I was give for free a bra and prosthesis and altho rubbed my underarm for a while I was told this helps compression in my mastectomy site, so I wear daily and bought another bra which is trendier! I started wearing mine 4 weeks after but only because I got ezcma on my chest and didn’t want to aggravate.
