motton Arpie has covered just about everything. I had ductal left side. Though its been 8 years since surgery. And yes the nerve ending didn't like being interfered with.

I wore a cotton T shirt under my well fitting Bra The post surgery one I was given in hospital is fantastic and i picked up a 2nd one. The t shirt (inside out) under my bra also help with my Radiation. I had quiet intense dose for 5 weeks the T shirt helped with the amount of cream I applied over the weeks of radiation.
A said any concerns get onto your breast care nurse, I she’s any good she’ll usually have a solution or 2. If not she’ll find out.
mine has always been a text message away.

cranky_granny I am also wearing a cotton singlet under my bra 😆which has helped a lot. It is hard to find just cotton bra's and I find the non cotton bras a little more irritating on the nipple hence the cotton singlet.

I am told I will need about 3 weeks worth and to anticipate some tiredness somewhere in the middle. I was thinking I could just duck off for radiation during my work schedule...may be getting ahead of myself 🤪
