Finished with radiotherapy and given the advice to keep my breast and arm pit out of the sun. Has anyone found a good SPF 50+ swimsuit that does this. Most advice is for mastectomy suits which have thin straps.
I got a lovely two piece suit and the top was like a mini t-shirt, so completely covered my chest and neck. But the whole suit was still very cute. I think I got it from M&S, but it was a while ago. There should be other stuff out there. Some swimsuits go right up to your neck. I think that is better than sun protection alone, though I use Altruist sun cream as it is for sensitive skin and fragrance free
Thank you. This is the sort of information that gets forgotten.
