So diagnosed with TNBC last July, had 15 sessions of chemo, mastectomy 6 weeks ago...now looking forward to family holiday whoop whoop!. Well I've searched every website known to man for a bikini that is suitable for us who now only have one boob and a prosthetic, Not 1 in a D cup that isn't flipping horrible. Seriously there is a whole in the market. Please tell me if you have found somethng suitable for a size 16 that isn't a body cover up. Think we should be proud of our shapes and sizes, I've put on 2.5 stone through my treatment, but who cares if I want to wear a skimpy bikini with my larger self hanging out! it's my body my choice. Ok rant over feel better already
Hi SJP70
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. While I don't have an answer for you about the bikini noticed that you haven't had any replies yet so I thought I'd reply to you to welcome you to the community. I suggest that you also join the breast cancer group as that's a much busier group than this one and there are plenty of ladies with triple negative on there. Here's the link: (+) Breast cancer forum - Macmillan Online Community.
I have to say I love your attitude about body sizes and shapes, I totally agree with you. Enjoy your family holiday.
Best wishes
