Hi all, 

I have stage 2 invasive ductal oestrogen receptor positive in my right breast, finding it really hard to sleep due to discomfort/pain any suggestions??

Plus having a lumpectomy in a couple of weeks, which is the better sports bra for after surgery ?

  • Sorry to hear your diagnosis, and that you are having pain and discomfort.  All I can suggest is take regular painkillers and maybe get a small heart shaped pillow.  This helps a lot at night to support your breast.  I was diagnosed the same as you and had my lumpectomy 3 weeks ago.  I found a sports bra too restrictive, especially at night.  So I bought 2 pre-op front opening bras from Asda, found them easier to wear all the time.  Was pleased though, when I could stop wearing them at night.  Wishing you all the best for your op.  Take care x

  • Thank you 

    Take good care of yourself xx
