Radiation

HapB

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions on a bra to wear during radiation?  Sports bras do not work for me because they are too tight.

Hello HapB

check with your local breast cancer specialty store. I found some great bras at our local Pink store (most of the bras are covered by insurance)

best wishes to you!

T shirts and camisoles

My treatment was also over the summer season.  My surgeon and radiologist both said bras were not necessary for any support, so be as comfortable as you can.  I agree that cotton was best!

Thanks for the tips. Well, I went with no bra today and that isn't going to work because my breasts actually hurt more unsupported. I ordered an all cotton front closure bra from Amazon today. We'll see if that works.

Beepositive, I am not aware of any breast cancer specialty stores. I will ask the nurses If they know of any. Thanks.

Danskin front zip

I also purchased a danskin front zip bra after surgery from Walmart.  I went with a larger size just so it would not put too much pressure.

I wore the same bra as my

I wore the same bra as my every day wear. I never had any burning etc / side effects, so maybe that is why it worked for me.
