@kamada I have copied this text from the BCNA website about the berlei post op bra: It is designed to cover the post surgery period of up to 12 weeks and can be worn during radiation treatment.
I had a lumpectomy in Dec '17 & my scar is right under my boob. My surgeon also took some tissue from below my breast to fill in my gap so the area under my boob is still a little sensitive. This is why I still wear my post op bra as it is sooooo comfortable. As i have always been small breasted, i usually get away with crop tops at home which are also very comfortable but I still use the berlei post op bra when I need to.
Good luck & take one step at a time. You will have many friends here that have been through it all so you will always be supported by those of us who have 'walked before you'. Love to you xx
