Hi. Thank you for replying so quickly.
I had breast cancer, (Triple Negative) 20 years ago. I had a lumpectomy, four rounds of chemo and 30 days of radiation. Prayers do work! ! However, this years checkup showed some precancerous cells in the same breast but a different- lower grade-caught very early.
Can I ask if you had reconstruction? I’m also wondering about prosthetic bras?

@orchardgirl54 I had a mastectomy in 2019 without reconstruction. I wear a prosthetic and a prosthetic bra. I do not have any issues. The ladies at my boutique that specialize in cancer patients needs like wigs, prosthetics & clothing ie hats & swimsuits etc. I originally had a silicone prosthetic & the latest one I got was inflatable which allows it to be a bit lighter and more adjustable. I have a swimsuit that the prosthetic fits into a pocket very nicely and I swim with the silicone prosthetic. I do not have any issues with my prosthetic, snd fir me , no reconstruction was the right decision. Blessings.
