Quadrantectomy of Breast grad 2

Really unsure of what to expect,mhaving my nipple removed and area around this.
Will I need a special bra to go home from hospital in, what sort, sports type comfortable or what?

Hi Foxie

 

I had something similar last year. I had a dressing on the wound and wore a sports bra from hospital. Stayed in the sports bras for a while and wore them at night for the first couple of weeks too. 

 

I hope it all goes well for you.

Hi Foxie, I had the exact same op over a year ago, was also grade 2, no node involvement, no chemo needed, 15 sessions of rads then 5 years Anastrozole. Had my first yearly mammogram in Jan, all clear! Agree about the sports bras, you need something soft, preferably with no seams. I also had some stretch crop top type bras from M & S which were very comfortable. Lots of ladies wear vests with built in support. Just ask if you want any more information, good luck & best wishes Pat xx
