Didn’t think I’d find myself back here, had rt mastectomy after DCIS diagnosis in 2005, now have Paget’s disease in left. (Trust me to pick the rare one…)
So I have plenty of bras, but without the left breast to anchor them, will they ride up? Could always go bra-less I suppose, haven’t done that since teenager in the late 60s…
Any advice ladies? And anyone else out there with Paget’s?

Hi silversueback
Sorry, have only just read your post.
How are you going on following your nasty news and treatment?
Plus on the bra front?
Yeh, I found some bras did tend to ride up a bit, but found the ones with an elasticated underband were far better than wired ones, so never bothered with those. Plus they’re more difficult to fit your prostheses in. Also found pocketed bras better than un - no risk of a false boob accidentally falling out, probably in your soup! :smileylol: It’s certainly easier to match things up without two - which is one good point I guess.
Hope you’re well xxxx
