I received my bra in the post after my first surgery (2007) which was ordered by the breast cancer nurse.
I found the bra didn't suit my shape, I tried to wear it but it was uncomfortable. I wore crop tops after my 3 surgeries (lumpectomy, wider local and mastectomy). I was fitted for a bra to wear with a prosthesis until I had my implant reconstruction then found some maternity bras that worked ok for me. I was fitted for another exprensive bra prior to my second freeflap reconstruction which didn't accommodate my disappointing reconstructed breast very well. I am back to wearing soft cup maternity bras but yet to find a bra that really looks or feels right though.
