Flat & Proud Great Bilateral Mastectomy Video

This is absolutely beautiful! I had so many issues with reconstruction I now wish I had gone flat from the beginning. At the time of my double mastectomy I could not imagine life without breast’s but 10 years later I realize the wisdom in loving myself for being just as I am. I am enough.
Thank you for this video.. it really spoke to me.

Passionately beautiful
Touched me

I'm so very happy I found the video and could share it with others here. My only regret is not finding it before my surgery. I had no compression bandages or steri-strips over the incision just glue that did not hold. My bilateral was May 2023 was my 2nd rodeo with BC. I had no problem with having the surgery, I wish I had done it the first time. I'm 8 months now and had a lot of complications so I don't look as flat as she does. My husband sat me down in December and told me from his heart that he would like me to stop hiding and wearing the very painful bra's to hold my https://awesomebreastforms.org/ in place. He told me "I look at your face so I will never forget it". I know you no longer have breasts I was there when you almost died from the complications. He was also there when I went thru all the gruesome treatments the first time and how sick I was. I'm crying as we all sometimes do at the drop of a hat because at least I touched you with my post. Be strong Beautiful Warriors.

I went flat without a second thought but I am older. She is brave and generous to make this video. I watched some of her other videos and she had a hard time during chemo. Hope she is okay.

@windyshores I too am older well actually old enough to be her mother if not a grandmother. The first thing I remember asking when I woke up was "Do I have to have Chemo Again" So far the only person to answer was the surgeon. My oncologist retired So, I've not seen one for over 7 years. I'm seeing the family Dr. soon and plan on asking for a PetScan. Never had one.

I want this youtube video to be bumped and stay current. The photo I'm attaching is of me 10 years before my 1st BC diagnosis and the reason I didn't do then what I wished I had done Bilateral. The after is after 15 years and so many complications I'm grateful to be alive.

There are many questions about lumpectomies. This brave young woman made her choice.

Thank you so much for posting this! I am 8 days post-op and three days before my pathology report. It is stressful, to say the least, and this video helped me so much! Yes, these are battle scars and I will wear them proudly. I have no plans for reconstruction, I like the way I look, I feel free. Free of somehting that has been painful from mastitis during four rounds of milk production over the past 30 years and also somehow free of societal expectations. The only feeling I struggle with is fitting in with aesthetic expectations of our society, but then I was always a individualist, so it does not really bother me that much. Perhaps we just don't realise how ingrained these standards are in our minds and we are only reminded of this when despite our clear convictions, there is a small nagging intrusive meaningless thought in the back of our brain, that upon examination loses significance.

I also hope she is ok, since she did not post anything after the last chemo video. I wish I knew she is ok now and happy, she so deserves that after all she has gone through.

Hi all! I was diagnosed 3 years ago just the beginnings of covid. I had stage 1 but grade 3 invasive ductal cancer and my onco type score was 51. I wanted both breasts removed but because of covid elective surgery was not an option for me. I met with my same surgeon today asking for the left breast to be removed. She said “Let’s do it”. It is hard to explain to someone that hasn’t gone through it that this is such a relief. Bless you all and healing vibes coming your way❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
