@Courtney_J For me a bra without an underwire is essential. I think now there are a few brands online that sell special bras for breast cancer patients, but I just went with cheap old Hanes ones I got at Target or Walmart and they've worked for me.

Same here. My 100 % cotton ones are the most comfortable, even 1 year post op. Since I am now one cup size different between the two breasts, I do have an insert foam cup from an old padded bra that I use when it is noticeable. Otherwise, cotton, cheap and comfortable.

I either went without or wore bralets last time round. I wish there were bras you could buy or order that had different cup sizes.

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

Hello ladies,
How are you today?
One of our members reached out to me looking for recommendations for a comfortable bra while in treatment.
What type of bra did you go to during or after treatment? Is there a particular kind that is more comfortable? Can you recommend any brands or models?

Feel free to share any recommendations here!
Take care,
Courtney
