Hi. Diagnosed after mammogram. Any advice welcome re bras? Are M &S ones ok? Many thanks.
Not to ask too personal a question, but i think it kind of depends if you're you having a lumpectomy or mastectomy, and are you talking about a bra to hold a form to give you back shape?
There's good advice on this thread...
RE: Hello, DCIS here, worried about my breast shape!
I've seen the ones in M&S and they have pockets for forms, which you can get in different shapes to suit what you need.
Someone recommended a brand called Evenly.
If you just mean a decent comfortable bra, then can't really go wrong with an M&S tshirt bra. I got a back of 3 without underwiring, nice wide back, nice thick straps!
Hi I ordered about 8 different ones from M&S after being measured (the staff were amazing)
but none were comfortable as they sat on the scar from lymph nodes removal.
I ordered a couple from contuve .com and they have been great
my timeline is like yours

Hi
I’m 63 diagnosed with BRCA2 sep 2023
was recommended to have ovaries/tubes out as I’m passed menopause, and discouraged to have DMX due to age. Lots of BC in family
I had 2nd MRI in October and a lump was found, had biopsy etc
results on 4th Nov and it’s TNBC with slight hormonal levels 3/8 so I need treatment to stop any spread
had lumpectomy on in 1st Dec all lymph nodes and margins were clear
healing really well and not too painful
start 6 months of chemotherapy on 8 January
I’m really dreading it but I know it’s the medicine that’s going to help stop any cancer returning
im in Newcastle/Gateshead and I’ve had amazing care from everyone
