I know there are bras following mastectomy but does anyone know of any following lumpectomy?

My mass was on the top of my left breast so if I wear my normal bras I am left with a big gap on top.  Just finished radiotherapy so not felt like going into town shopping yet. 

Any help much appreciated.

  • I bought soft unwired sports bras which are comfortable a size bigger.  They were bought from Matalan

  • You can get post surgery bras for lumpectomy they just don’t have pockets try m&s, John Lewis and bravissimo 

  • Hi Jools52,

    I was in the exact same position as you,  I bought two lovely soft post op bras from M & S. They are not the cheapest of items, nearly £48;for two, but are worth it. 

    If you haven’t already, please apply for the Macmillan grant, it’s £200 and will help greatly with things like this.

    Huge luck and big hugs to you.x

  • Hi

    I ordered soft  post op  bras online  from Asda, £16 for two. They were recommended by my BCN. They have a double row of hooks and eyes down the front and are really comfortable
