Hi there; joined you all last month and had SLNB one week ago and waiting for results… the wait is awful isn’t it? From what I’ve read by the fantastic ladies on here once I get the results and a definite plan then things will seem clearer.
My bc nurse is brilliant and I’ve built a good relatioship with her already.
Having mx with tummy recon two weeks today (if I don’t need rad)so anybody got any recommendations on post surgery bras? Not been measured properly yet but the Royce silver one seems to be one of the best but the largest size is 38 so I don’t think it will be one of my options. Ideally would like a deep banded front fastening one if any of you ladies can guide me?
Feeling quite strong at the moment, have my off days when I’m down, and will be scared when the results come through.
The blue boob is something else!
Hello dee49,
I got some loverly bras from royce for after my surgery.
I’ve just had a look and they have a style number 736 on them. I had a lumpectomy but the scar is below my nipple and catches on nomal bras or it did at first, much better now. 8wks post op.
These bras are suitable as post op bras whether you have has a mx or not as they do have a pocket in for a prosthessis, it is also deep banded and front fastening, they are very comfortable, not very sexy! but I would highly reccomend them, I hope this is of help.
The blue look isn’t too good is it, been there done that!
Best Wishes,

Hi Isablle; thanks for the info, will try and get Royce catalogue if I can… Feeling a bit anxious today, but I guess that’s normal…
Hope everything goes wll for you,
Kind regards and Thanks Denise x
Hi Denise,
I just goggled it on the internet and was able to order online, no bother. I often get anxious days I think it goes with the territory we are all in at present.
keep in touch if you wish.
Good luck with your treatment,

Thanks Isabelle x
I had a front fastening one from amoena uk, they are also online. Good luck!
Hi Denise,
Just a thought re. sizing I’m usually a 38b but I found it much better to get a larger size i.e. 40b because of swelling, much more comfortable having a larger than usual size.

Thanks Isabelle & Tina; was thinking about the Amoena one too as I’m probably 40 but thought I might need to go bigger in case of swelling.
Having a down day today and to add to it my autistic 12 yr old is going crazy and wrecking his room at the moment and I’ve just burst into tears - normally I can coope with it but I think the results bit is getting to me and i just can’t stop crying
