Have just joined this thread to say hi and welcome to this site.I had a left mastectomy 2years ago,followed by chemo. After surgery I couldn't wear a bra for a few weeks.I wore singlets and loose shirts with either an open vest or a scarf draped around the front.These items were great camourflage.I got my free Berlei bra and soft forms as I was leaving hospital.My breast care nurse had organised them a week or so before.But I couldn't wear them for a few weeks anyway.This bra is still my most comfortable today! At about  6 weeks post op I went to Myers to be fitted with my prosthesis.The lady there was fantastic and the prosthesis was soooo much better than the soft form.The weight of my good boob used to drag the soft form out of place but not so with the silicon prosthesis.It looks and feels realistic and once I'm dressed in the morning,I forget about it.The missing boob is hard to deal with at times,even after 2 years.I often have trouble finding tops with higher necklines.I've"doctored" alot of my favourite clothes and swimmers with fake cami/lace.Wardrobe worries may come later down the track but right now you are in battle mode.In the cancer world it's good that you are Her2 neg and er pos.Were your lymph nodes clear?Perhaps you are waiting on that result.Ah,the waiting nearly does your head in.By the end of your bc journey you will have become the most patient person on earth!! Take it easy and all the best for the end of the week- let us know how it all goes.
