Flying with breast forms

    I'm having a real dilemma and I need some helpful advice. As part of my job I occasionally have to travel to client sites, some in Ireland and others in Spain. Since I began living full-time, I haven't had to do this but I know it won't be long. Since I'm pre-hormone treatment I rely on breat forms to give me the confidence I need and want. I've googled about flying whilst waering these and all the results concern the unfortunate woman who have had cancer treatment. 

    I know from experience that airport checks are rare, but has anyone had any adverse treatment? I would like advice on the best way to handle this, I don't relish the thought of not wearing them.

    Thank you in advance
