BCNA's My Care Kit is for people who have recently had breast surgery or are undergoing radiation therapy. It includes a specially designed Berlei bra and soft form(s), provided through a partnership between BCNA and Berlei. The bra is suitable for the post-surgery period of up to 12 weeks and can also be worn during radiation treatment.
The bra is made from soft viscose bamboo for a gentle feel against your skin. It features spacious pockets for easy soft form insertion and a flexible band that accommodates dressings and body changes without digging in. With minimised seams to reduce irritation, it also has front and back closures for easy dressing and multiple fastening options. Additionally, it provides good side coverage for comfort around surgical areas.
After those 12 weeks, Berlei also offer a 50% discount on their post-surgery bra range, which you can access by calling our Helpline. For any questions regarding the voucher, view our FAQs.
The My Care Kit is available free of charge to women in Australia who undergo surgery for breast cancer. The kit is generally ordered by your health professional.
Any queries can be directed to your health professional or BCNA’s Helpline - phone 1800 500 258.
