Mastectomy bras

Hi All,

I finished Chemo in November and now the everyday trip to radiotherapy.

Can anyone help me with a comfortable bra? I have bought 2 Amoena bras and now can not wear them as my surgeon said they are ill fitting and will cause lymphoedema. I have found some at Target and they are a little better..Any better ideas? xxx

  • Hey Jenniferj - made it to radiotherapy, me too.

    I have the berlei bra from the 'my care kit. Many of the ladies I have met at my breast cancer meditation group highly recommend the soft bras from target - particularly the breast cancer ones.

    Many times i dont bother wearing a bra at all, but then I can get away with it. Small breasts (what's left) and scarves.

    All the best.

  • Hi Jennifer, have you received the My Care Kit, with the special bra from Berlei?   It has to be ordered by your Breast Care Nurse (so it gets properly fitted), but that bra is specially designed for women who have recently had breast surgery.
