Going into hospital

If you or someone you love is preparing for a mastectomy, lumpectomy or breast cancer surgery, this collection has everything you need for your hospital stay and the early days of recovery at home. Choosing the right products before you go in can make a significant difference to your comfort and recovery — and knowing what to buy in advance means one less thing to worry about at an already stressful time. We recommend every patient going into hospital for breast cancer surgery considers a soft, front fastening post-operative bra. A front fastening style requires no lifting or twisting of the arms, making it much easier to put on and take off in the days immediately after surgery when movement may be restricted and the wound is still healing. Our Frances and Fleur bras from Amoena are among our most popular post-operative styles, available in sizes from a UK 6 to 26 in the Fleur, and 28 to 50 in the Frances. For women with a larger bust or those who have had reconstruction surgery, the Layla zip-front fastening bra offers additional support and is available in sizes 32 to 54 UK. For women going into hospital having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction, we also stock the Trulife First Fit breast form — a soft, lightweight temporary breast form designed to be worn in the early weeks following surgery while the wound is healing, before a permanent prosthesis is fitted. We also offer thoughtfully curated Chemo Gift Boxes — a beautiful and practical gift idea for someone starting chemotherapy treatment. Available as a Starter Kit or an Ultimate Kit, these make a meaningful alternative to flowers for friends and family who want to show their support in a genuinely useful way. Gift certificates are also available in values of £25, £50 and £75 if you would prefer to let someone choose their own products in their own time. UK delivery available. VAT exemption may apply on qualifying products.
