    Hi Moira,

    Nice to hear from you. What a good idea, I hadn't thought of maternity bras! I will definitely try some on next time I'm at the shops. Haven't worn one of those in a while...

    I was wondering about my remaining boob size too! When I went on tamox it seemed to go down a size & I had to get a smaller foob. I've been on zoladex & letrozole (due to ?recurrence/progression) for 7 months now & thought maybe my boob was a little bigger, the foob doesn't quite match it now!

    I don't want to go back to using my original foob because I got it 8 years ago & its very heavy- not like the lightweight ones today.

    I'd better try on new foobs at the shop here before I order one on-line Smile

    My ultrasound was fine, they did a spot compression mammo too to check something that showed on the mammo they did 2 weeks ago- but all ok.

    So I'll now go try on some new foobs & bras.

    Those of you who live in NZ you can order from overseas & get it reimbursed. Just ring the ministry of health 0800 number first to get sent a special form.Smile Happy shopping!

    Hello fellow Kiwis and others Kiss I live in Christchurch and am also disappointed with the lack of variety etc for bras. I usually go without prosthetics, but it would be nice to have a lacy-type more feminine bra. I like to just wear camisoles, and find them most comfortable. Great suggestions re web sites etc. Good thread.

    Hi Rowan. Another kiwi, yay...

    I got my new prosthesis from the UK yesterday, trying it out today. So far so good. I don't notice the 'bumps' - its one of those new amoena energy forms with silver & bumps for breathability.

    I can recommend internet shopping, so long as you know what size. I also got a nice cotton cami from the same place - it has soft,lacy straps and across the front with a nice high neckline so when you bend over it doesn't gape. Looks nice.

    So check out Betty & Belle if you want one of those. Smile
