Hi Gillyflower Speaking to the bc nurse today, have a long list of questions!! I have got it in my own mind that i will have the bilateral, but i just need to know all the facts.
Bad day yesterday! went bra shopping! trying to find a nice 34c full cup bra is a nightmare, i bought two & i am taking them both back! The problem is i just keep thinking i don't know what they will look like until after the op & i have something to put in them!
How are you doing? Is the rads ok?
I will be glad when i start my treatment, it will make me feel alot safer! 2 months 3 weeks since 1st dx & it's still there!
thanks for keeping in touch, it's nice to know your there.

Morning Hi Louise
Rads ok, only 4 more to go, skin getting sore now though!!
I went to a shop in Derby for my bras, dont remember what it was called but its just up from Macdonalds, they have full cup, nonwired bras and are really pretty, i paid £22 though but well worth the money, It's really comfy and my prosthesis doesnt fall out, and i'm a 34 DD. Perhaps worth a look!!
Are you at the city, who's your bc nurse??? Mine is Heather, she's really good and has loads of time for me.
Look after yourself.

Morning to you to Hi Gilly
I am at the city, my breast care nurse is Diane, but i am seeing both Diane and Marlene today.
Thats where i got one of my bras from yesterday, i think it's called Contessa! I surpose i'm just not in the right frame of mind at the moment, i'm not used to wearing full cup bras, with not much there i am used to buying the ones that push them up and out (ha,ha).
I remember i used to get really dehydrated when i had my rads last time, but as it was only a lumpectomy it was only over a small area so it didn't get that sore.
you take care
Louise xx
