Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other

I have have ILC stage 2 and will have surgery on January 21 followed by 4 weeks of radiation. My prognosis is good. I've heard I need a breast support pillow and a non-underwire bra for post surgery. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I should prepare for surgery and radition? Thank you.

Along with the other suggestions, I'd add Mederma for your skin during/following radiation. And if your skin still feels irritated, don't be shy about asking your R/O for a steroid cream. It works wonders.
Good luck!

Hi! Following surgery, you’ll want clothing up top that’s easy to slip in and out of (ie buttons or zippers!) as it’s difficult to reach your arm up to slip something over your head. I hadn’t thought of this and struggled! Also a calendula cream once you start radiation. I used a product from My Girls, but there’s probably others out there. Go easy on yourself, rest when you need to, and eat healthy foods. All the best with your journey!
