Hiya to you newbies, I was diagnosed on March 17th, am having a lumpectomy and they will pump some dye through to my nodes and do whatever they need to do next Monday the 18th, yes I am completely poo-ing myself about it all, but would like to say everyone on here has made me very welcome and my advice would be to read, read and read again, but ONLY on this site and Macmillan. Oh and don’t forget your Breast Nurse is there for you and will always help you, whatever it is you need to know.
Hi Saphy

Hi all
Not sure if this is appropriate but have just been told by my BCN that they do great post surgery bras at a famous named supermarket
A**a look under George on their web site. They are very resonably priced at £6.00 and £8.00.
Hope this is of help.
