Bra - post surgery

Hello

 

I have been advised that after surgery - I've having a cancerous lump removed - non wired sports bras are best to wear.  I am a 32G usually and get bras from Bravissimo but they don't have much choice in non wired.  I've looked at M&S and they nothing above E cup.   Wondered if anyone has advice on where would be good to get a comfy supportive bra post surgery?

 

thanks

  • Hello Marym007

    There are quite a few specialist companies that sell post surgery bras which can be quite expensive but if you're having a lumpectomy and will not be wearing a prosthesis you might prefer to wear a supportive front fastening sports bra instead.

    There is some useful informationon the Breast Cancer Now website which I've linked for you here. 

    Best wishes for your surgery,

    Thanks for the info Jenn.  I've ordered some non wired comfy looking bras on line and hopefully they will be good fit - if not I'll just send them back!   I'm not now having the lump removed soon as found out today that it is Grade 3 breast cancer and I will need to have chemo prior to lump being removed.  All bit of a shock still but hopefully I'll have nice bras anyway!
