What Did You All Do For A Bra During Radiation? Can You Wear One Or Not? I Am A 38G So The Thought Of Going Without A Bra π³
They just canceled my planning appointment and this was one of my biggest questions.
I didn't
I didn't wear a bra during rads - especially near the end when I was sore. All I cared about was being comfortable π©·
During radiation, many people find it helpful to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritating the skin. Here are some suggestions based on experiences shared by others:
- Soft Camisoles: Wearing a soft camisole under your shirt can provide some support without the tightness of a bra
- Sports Bras: Some Show Full Answer
I am a 38F. I used a soft cotton lined sports bra with slight compression during rads. Towards the end, I actually would pad even further with a soft linen handkerchief in that area. At my age of 79, gravity has had it's fun and without a bra I would be bulging at the waist and probably end up with whiplash. At home a soft T shirt helped on some days. And I used the cream given me religiously! My skin never broke open, Susan, that must have been painful. So sorry you had to deal with that too!
I am a 38D and at end of radiation same thing, Comfort... I wore a t strap semi snug under looser clothes. I couldn't put a bra on where my skin broke open.β€οΈ Tried it one time, once to many...
