Good support bra?


I'm due to have a lumpectomy in a week or so. The cut will be on the left breast at about the 10:00 position. Most bras are cut to lay across that area(demi and fuller cut). I need a good full coverage(but not heavy)support bra, while healing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What about a good sports bra? I have large breasts and jog using a champion sports bra. They don't move at all!! The really good ones are going to be between $20 and $30 at a sporting goods store.

Otherwise, avoid anything underwire. Mabye a bandeau type.

There are several full cut bras,I'm thinking you should try some on instead of ordering online so you can get an accurate,comfortable fit.get a bra fitting and inform them of your upcoming lumpectomy.Good luck with that!
