Hi Ladies, I have just taken my 5th day of radiation. I am very large-breasted and my underwire is the most supportive. But my Oncologist radiologist stated no under wire. Do you why she insisted?Is it because of skin irritation or other factors

Thank you for adding me to your team--I've done the same for you. As for your question about the underwire once I had a few radiation treatments none of my bras felt good. I'm not especially big breasted but I changed to very soft but supportive bras. Hope that helps. Hugs.

I as not to wear underwire due to irritation. I’m also large breasted and found some supportive no wire bras at Masthead. Hang in there!

Hi Maryann...this is what I looked like toward the end of my month long duration of Radiation....I don't think you'll be wanting to wear any type of Bra. I could barely wear clothing at this point. It gets painful toward the end, but they recommended a cream that helps, and after you're done with the Radiation, everything clears right up, and the pain goes away...within two weeks for me. Good Luck and Big Huge Hugs!!! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
