Hi there

I had mastectomy and reconstruction immediately. Found some lovely soft bras in M & S. Think they are called “body”. Lovely and comfy. Also they do a zip up front one too which I like. Still wearing them 3 months on as quite tender. The worst bit for me was the long sentinel node scar which was in a really awkward place and did rub for a while.

Hope you get on okay. Any questions feel free to private message me.

Thanks for the reply Mary, I’ve also had the lymph noises done. I did have a look in M&S but guess I was trying to find a cheaper alternative. I guess in this situation comfort & quality is key. While I can’t go out to try things I’m looking on line..Hope you are doing ok now?

Hi there Karla in M & S they are called Flexifit non-wired bras £22 but you do need to try on really. I’m still wearing mine as not fully comfortable yet. Learned from before as 5 years ago had prev us breast cancer in right breast and knew would need bras ready for this time  Also wear cheap soft bra at night just for extra support. 

Im doing ok thanks almost back to normal but have had to change my medication from exemestane to Tamoxifen as couldn’t tolerate the side effects and it’s for 5 years too.

Keep in touch

Love Mary
