Meldarbs​ Thankyou for starting the conversation. While we wait for others to share their own experience, we thought you may find these resources useful:
- Your hospital stay for breast cancer surgery
- Mastectomy surgery
Your breast care nurse might provide you with a cushion as well. In some places, local organisations such as the Country Women’s Association (CWA) make cushions.
BCNA also provide a free My Care Kit, which you can order through our Helpline 1800 500 258. The kit includes a specially designed Berlei bra and soft form(s), provided through our partnership with Berlei. The bra is suitable for the post-surgery period of up to 12 weeks and can also be worn during radiation treatment.
