Bra after mastectomy
so I had my mastectomy last Thursday and I'm now home. All is going well except I have some tingling in my arm. I have one D cup boob left and feeling very unsupported. What bra do I wear, when can...

Hi @lillian67, I was told to wear my mastectomy bra 24/7 for the first six weeks (but I had immediate recon so that was also to support the implant). The front opening bras are fantastic as I'm sure your aware you can get a bit sore and it also stops rubbing on the scar line if you are a do the bra up at the front and swing it around to the back putter on-erer!! I wouldn't initially be buying any mega expensive bras as I know mine got a bit discoloured from using a lot of bio oil on my scar (bra was white :( ). Depending on where you live there are mobile bra fitters who specialise in fitting breast cancer ladies and the various outcomes of surgery, if you put on your area you might be advised if some locally specific people. Your breast care nurse should also have a list of suppliers, fitters in your area. Xx Cath
