Yes, I wear the compression bra. I met another woman who wears it and she calls it the "torture bra". I've gotten used to wearing it, but it sure cramps my style with clothing. I never wore plunging necklines but this bra sticks up above a neckline that is at my collarbone. I was managing quite well for sometime but it suddenly started to swell again. So I am going for a second opinion and consultation for possible surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston at their Lymphedema Center. Thank you for your encouragement. It means more than I can say.
