Hello and a question

I found the Berlei one extremely uncomfortable but then I've always been one for light support, not being particularly large-breasted.  It did get me through the first days, though.  When I was in hospital for my second surgery, I got fitted for an Amoena post-surgery bra and that was much better.  After surgeries, I got pain from where the drain was and also a lot from the axillary dissection as the nerves get rather confused so almost everything "rubbed".  I bought a few of the Kmart version Ah Bras and wore them with and without padding (and usually something wrapped around the side to stop the pressure under the arm) for quite a few weeks then was fitted properly for something more structured - still had to be soft and by that time, also had to accommodate the port - and a prosthesis.  Most of what I get is Amoena because that's what my fitters sell.  They're pretty comfortable (as far as bras can be) but I do wish that you could get a post-mastectomy bra that was a bit lower cut.  Don't forget that if you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim your bras as mastectomy garments.
