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
