With stage 4 hormone positive breast invasive ductal carcinoma, which spread into my axilla due to not being informed that manual lymphatic drainage can spread cancer cells to the lymphatic drainage system, a double mastectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. During recovery, with lymphedema, my oncology care team at @adventhealthcfl prescribed wearing compression bras 24/7. @prairiewear is comfortable, smooth, and neurodivergent friendly. DM me to see if your purchase is covered through your health insurance either with no copay, a copay, or applied towards your deductible. Delivery service available for a small travel fee in Central Florida. #BreastCancer #DoubleMastectomy #BreastCancerJourney #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastHealth

Soooo, y’all still wearing underwire bras?

Maybe it’s just me, but those wires left indentations along my inframammary fold (under the breast), which probably restricted lymphatic flow.

Compression bras can also help manage swelling.

I wear Prairie Wear, and they’re SUPER comfortable—even without swelling. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Because most people associate breast cancer-related lymphedema with swelling in the arm or hand, swelling in the breast or chest often goes overlooked.

But lymphedema can also develop in your breast, chest wall, underarm, trunk, and even your upper back after breast cancer treatment.

After breast cancer surgery or radiation, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes can become damaged or disrupted, making it more difficult for lymph fluid to drain properly.

This can lead to a buildup of fluid and swelling in the surrounding tissues, on the same side of the upper body as your breast cancer treatment.

What makes breast/chest lymphedema particularly challenging is that the early signs aren’t always obvious or they are often dismissed as a “normal part of recovery.”

So here are some signs to look out for:
✨ Visible swelling in the breast, chest, or trunk
✨ A feeling of heaviness, tightness, or fullness
✨ Changes in how your bra fits or feels
✨ Changes in breast size or shape
✨ Skin changes, including an “orange-peel” appearance

Whether you’re currently recovering from treatment or it’s been years since your breast cancer diagnosis, please know that persistent swelling and discomfort are not something you have to simply accept.

Treatment options are available.

One of the most effective tools for managing breast, chest wall, and truncal lymphedema is a medical-grade compression bra.

A properly fitted compression bra provides gentle, consistent pressure to help manage swelling, support lymphatic health, and improve comfort throughout the day.

My go-to compression bras are from Prairie Wear.

Comment “BRA” and I’ll DM you a link with the bras!

And if you notice any of these changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a Certified Lymphedema Therapist for more support and guidance.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and comfortable in your body throughout every stage of recovery.

Which @prairiewear Hugger is right for YOU? 🤍

Swipe through ➡️ to see which one I’d choose for different patient scenarios!

As an OT + Certified Lymphedema Therapist, I’m a big believer in supportive, comfortable well-made compression garments.

Having the right bra support through cancer/lymphedema, pregnancy/post partum, and everyday life is essential to your well-being and your lymphatic health.

Your needs can change depending on surgery, swelling, lymphedema, and overall activity level.

That’s why I love that @prairiewear has four different Hugger options:

🖤 PRIMA → high compression + coverage, post-surgical recovery & lymphedema support
🤍 VIDA → medium compression + coverage for everyday activity & maintenance
💙 LUMA → high compression + lower V-neck coverage for an active lifestyle
🩷 ARIA → light–medium compression, super comfy for everyday wear, maternity + nursing (my favorite!!!!)

The “best” bra is the one that fits YOUR body and YOUR needs.

Prairie Wear makes it super easy to determine your size, it’s just one measurement! 🩷

this is your reminder: don’t let someone else’s limits become your ceiling.

they said i wouldn’t get my life back, i say life has never been better.

fighting to get back to what moves you isn’t ungrateful, it’s the most grateful thing you can do. 🎀
