Bad luck with that swelling...maybe time will heal? I couldn;t wear a bra for long for ages and then used an extender piece so it wasn't so tight. I can now wear one all day but it took nearly 8 months to feel normal again.

I think I told you I refused tamoxifen....hope I am right to do that. Anyway, hang in there and try different things.
