Hello everyone. I was recently diagnosed and have been reading this forum regularly and learned a lot. I am having breast conserving surgery on Wednesday. The lump is on the side back of my breast not...

Hello @Mousie
I was actually going to post a similar question.
I am six months along after diagnosis, was a 16DD, and find even the Berlei post op bra (and other post surgery bras I have bought) irritate my sentinel node scar, which unfortunately is where the bra sits under the armpit. I now prefer non wired, as my cancers were in the lower half of the breast. For six months I have been wearing the Amoena 'Frances' bra, which I just LOVE for the comfort and cotton content (hot flushes). However it isn't ideal in terms of supporting my intact DD breast, but seems ok for my 'half chopped into breast' (which is now maybe a C cup?)
I am thinking of buying this one -

Any other advice on a soft, non wired, supportive bra, that won't rub my armpit scar would be great. Trying on is excellent advice, but sometimes you don't know it rubs until after a few hours later!
All the best in whatever is right for you, and sending you my very best wishes for Wednesday!
