It is so overwhelming and everyone has such a different beginning.
The bras I was shown are not flattering. The lady in Myers was really condescending. I looked online but couldnt see anything
My breast team measured etc prior and then when they went in I had a lumpectomy not a masectomy (big boobs). There was a whole myriad of inserts depending on where I was in recovery from featherlight to formed heavey. I was to be supplied with two bras for free.
I was given a little pillow - looks like a neck pillow with a ribbon to use to replace the missing boob when sleeping - would you like it? I have no use for it now and it is just sitting in the cupboard. I am happy to send it to you.
I have also found some ahh bra like bras in Big W but they are cotton with just elastic at the bottom - like a crop top. I am now using those rather than bras. (St Marks brand $17 for 2). I understand that cotton will be best when I start radiation.
Keep posting any little thought, because it seems most of us have the same frustrations throughout our treatment.
Take care.
