When Kate Courtman went for her first bra fitting after having a double mastectomy and reconstruction, she had no idea what to expect.
“I thought it would be fairly straightforward but when I told the assistant about my surgery, she had this shocked look on her face, as if I had death stamped on my forehead,” said Kate, 37, a lawyer.
“The manager came in and they both seemed quite stressed and unsure what to suggest. In the end, the bra they gave me was frilly and cone-shaped. It looked like something my grandmother might have worn.”
Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2018.
Kate, who lives in London with husband Dominic, 47, and sons Max, six, and Alex, three, said: “One morning, my older son accidentally hit me with a toy.
“I remember jumping back as I thought he’d pricked me with something sharp. When I felt around my breast I could feel a tiny, hard lump.”
