A new journey!
This is my first blog post for this "journey". After discovering a large lump in my L breast at the end of July this year, I was soon diagnosed with invasive DC. A week later I had a lumpectomy and...
I had a double mastectomy one week ago and am a bit uncomfortable but ok. I think having the double is ok because I just wear a nice, soft singlet now.

I also checked out 3 specialist bra shops in Western Sydney and although I have to wait 8 weeks before a fitting I was heartened by the range of pretty but practical bras. In one shop the lady explained that I could bring in my favourite old bra and they would make inserts to fit! I also bought 2 lovely cossies for mastectomy ladies which can be worn with or without a prosthesis or my case 2. It made my day!
It takes a while for everything to settle. Keep up the bio oil and gentle massage.
Good luck
