Berlei Bras

hi everyone,

i am reading on here that a few are starting treatment, or have just had operations, just in case you dont know, you can receive a free berlei bra from BCNA, you have to have a professional health worker order it for you, but these bras are great, and are made specially for bc patients, so have a look on the site, or get in touch with one of the girls in bcna and they will point you in the direction so you can get one. If you cant find it let me know, and i will dig deeper for you.  Regards Moira

    HI everyone,

    I received My Care Kit with my free berlei bra just after my mastectomy. MY McGrath Breast Care Nurse ordered it for me before my operation. I have worn it a few times, I can suffer it for about 2 hours tops before it drives me crazy. It seems to ride up all the time and I'm always pushing the padding back down as it rises up and moving about.  Does anyone else have this trouble? I lost my right breast and still have my left one. I also have a portacath and the surgeon (Male) placed it right where my bra strap goes near my collar bone on my left side.  So I havent worn a bra for ages.My left breast will be down at my waist in no time flat.

    Any tips welcome.
