I’m 60, lumpectomy on left breast and reconstruction on both (4-23). Had 15 days radiation.During radiation at MDAnderson they would mark your breast with colored sharpies. Colors stained my bra… I had bought something supportive, not compression from Walmart- so not expensive. Front closure.i would put on Calendula cream-you can buy on Amazon- (dr recommended) after treatments.Side note: It took over a month for my skin to health and doctor had to call in special cream to help. Keep up your stretching and exercise. My fatigue hit near the second week. Watch your breast … I ended up with lymphedema but caught it early - I can self maintain now. Good luck. Remember your body is healing. ❤️

Yes had tape over marker - still left stains.

Reconstruction needed some support.
