Bras

Coggy
Offline

I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer with metastatic spread to my ribs. Wearing a bra is uncomfortable and camisoles don’t give support even though I’m small busted. What is the best type to wear when the ribs are sore and painful?

    I have an enlarged spleen from lymphoma and couldn't tolerate normal bras either. And having a 36GG top means going without often isn't an option!

    I found bravissimo bralettes and non wired bras to be a godsend. Might take a bit of trial and error but you can send them back for free and hopefully you'll find a size or style that fits comfortably.

    Sending best wishes
