Hi,

Does anyone know where my mum can get a bra with different cup sizes. After her lumpectomy one breast is now alot smaller than the other.

I have downloaded the publication A Confident choice from here and it does list some shops but wondered if anyone in a similar position and knows of somewhere to go and be fitted?

Many thanks,

Hi

I am not sure if you can buy a bra with different cup sizes but you can get silicone shell to fill out your breast. I am in Scotland and I know we can get one every 2 years on the NHS. Hope this info helps your mum.

Hi london09

I have the same problem as your Mum after my lumpectomy.

Carolyn159 is right about a prosthesis and that the NHS will provide a new one every 2 years.

Your Mum needs to speak to her breast care nurse. Mine had a cupboard full of different shapes and sizes. It was just a case of trying a couple to get the right size and shape.

Hope you get sorted.

Hi
I have just got my prosthesis, and was told l could get a new one every 2 years, but was also told they would not contact me, l would have to remember to arrange it myself! so have marked it on the calendar!
