I wore the compression bra after my cancer surgery for 2 months after. Then I went without a bra. For a year and 1/2. Now I probably will just wear one like I used to wear. I am happy that I had a lumpectomy only. I have a dent on top of my breast at 12:30 6 inches from nipple and fading scar and a scar under my arm where the lymph nodes were taken. I am good for now. And grateful to be alive.
