Bras for larger ladies

I was diagnosed two weeks ago with DCIS and IDC (stage 2 admixed), and had a wide local excision and sentinel lymph node removal yesterday.  More than half my boob gone.  Now facing chemo and radiotherapy.

What I would love to know is:  where does one buy bras for plus size ladies?  I'm a 48 DD/E and I have not been able to find post surgery/mastectomy bras in that size, like anywhere.  I bought what was supposed to be a 48 from Amazon, but I can't even get it closed.  I've been wearing these soft cotton crop top type bras, but they're not very supportive and it hurts when I walk, as the boobie wobbles lol.  Plus I can't lift my arm to get them on!

If anybody had any suggestions I would be eternally grateful - and so will my poor boobies lol.

  • Hi. When I lived in England my partner's specialist breast cancer nurse recommended the bra fitting service at Marks and Spencer. They were very understanding of her clinical needs and extremely helpful. This was a few years ago but I'd say it's definitely worth a try. I hope you find a solution somewhere. Best of luck.
