Which Bra during Radiation
Hi everyone, is there a certain bra that you have found to ease pain during Radiation treatment. I haven’t started yet but have read some scary stories & the right bra is important!!

@Romla hiya, I am very keen to know your thoughts on the calendula? I read about it in Dr Kerryn Phelps book on cancer. I bought two big tubs and it comes from NZ. The rad onc said it was fine, I am just a bit worried that it isn't really emollient like Ego cream, more a salve. It's organic, Calendula Balm, contains organic olive oil, certified organic calendula flowers and NZ Beeswax. I just don't want to be rubbing something in, more putting it on softly if you know what I mean! I am using Dermaveen body was and sometimes Ego. @Life sorry I wasn't more helpful ... while you are trying on the bras, though, have a go with the maternity cotton ones. I like my two so much I am going to stick with them! I guess it all depends on where your scar is though, as these Chloe and Lola ones are nice and broad and cover my scar so it doesn't irritate me. They are also quite pretty. I haven't tried the BCNA bra. My Breast Nurse ordered one for me but it didn't arrive or someone picked up the package at our house☹I didn't want to ask for another as they already do so much. I would be up )-#@ creek without my the My Journal package! Xxx Roll on Wednesday before my anxiety sends me loco!
