Hi Sarah - I'm so sorry you are going through this.  I've just had a mastectomy and gave bought post surgical bras from M&S really soft fabric, front fastening, wide straps.  I'm 2 weeks post op and haven't worn a bra yet as I have a lot of fluid so more comfortable without.  Have a look at M&S online. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Thank you for your reply. Sorry to you too, and glad you're getting better.  Thanks for the advice. 

Hello Pandamum, I am sorry to hear your story . I had bilateral mastectomies in  September 2022, I didn’t bother wearing a bra months later ,felt quite happy going flat .When spring and summer came I felt that clothes sat better with breasts . I wore the soft ,over the head bras from Tesco and Asda ,they have little pouches with pads . I removed the pads and popped prosthesis in . Very comfortable too . I have had chestexpanders in now and going to have some silicone implants in May . Still wear those bras as they are comfortable .

Just go with it ,if you really want to wear a bra straight away , the front loaders are the best to start with . All the best and stay positive , that helped me a lot . Chemotherapy was doable too, didn’t feel ill only the foggy brain for three days .

Keep in touch xxx

Thanks for your reply and advice,  I am glad you went through without being so ill. It gives me hope, I am trying to stay as positive as I can, I really don't think the reality of all this has hit me yet, just seem to be in an automatic state.

Hope all goes well in the future.
