- Daina_BCNACommunity ManagerHi @Margey - feel free to call BCNA on 1800 500 258 and we can order you a My Care Kit, which is recommended post surgery for 6-12 weeks. The kit comes with a Berlei post surgical bra. We would just need to know your bra size e.g. 16C - If you don't know your bra size then we suggest you measure - Under bust and then Over bust. All the best

Read through the link above as it talks about the free Berlei bra - MargeyMemberHi I had a wide local excision DCIS I did not know about the free bra, the breast care nurse said nothing really.

- poodlejulesMemberThanks @onemargie , I checked with mum and her current ones are a 5, best she gets refitted I think, so please go ahead and donate them.I had a double lumpectomy and have found a lovely wirefree bra thats very comfy and doesn't rub on my sentinal node scar. It's a Playtex Play Comfort Revolution Wirefree Smoothtec Band Bra. Bought my first one at Harris Scarfe but then found them on Catch of the Day for a lot les $$$$ ! i need a sports bra so will try the Kmart ones thanks!
- onemargieMemberTo be honest I tried them on with the prosthetics and didn’t like them anyway. So will probably donate them to the local charity I’m supporting tomorrow for my fundraiser be uplifted if @poodlejules doesn’t want them as I’m pretty sure they have a similar program too. Xx
