I have heard about people having radiation after a mastectomy if the cancer was close to the chest wall. As far as how to manage the skin and your need for a foob during radiation, I would definitely check out the products from AnaOno. The soft bras have pockets so you could possible slip one of their lightweight foobs in the pocket to even things out. I was able to wear their bras all throughout radiation. In fact, I was more uncomfortable without a bra than with one. Good luck with your appointment!

I hope that your surgery goes well next week, and I’m so happy that you’re finding the information here helpful. Keep me posted on how things go for you. Wishing you a smooth surgery and I hope radiation goes well for you.

Thanks Nancy! I would love it if the things I learned in treatment could be helpful for people just beginning this process. We get tossed into this cancer world and need to learn so many new things!
