I am SO Glad you've had it done & that it was not too traumatic for you, even tho you would have preferred a female to be present .... I only had the male radiographer in the room & the male Dr doing the actual 'stabbing' ......but they ARE professional (we hope!) - so assume they are now as used to seeing women's boobs as they are men's balls, given the prevalence of both cancers just now! I was surprised at how much mine hurt for quite a while after the procedure tho!
Trust me - after a little while - you won't think twice before 'flashing them' to anyone .... (particularly once you've flaunted to total strangers every day for 4 weeks of radiation!) Matter of fact, having had a relatively 'easy' time of it - am quite happy to 'show my boob' to my female friends - just to demystify it & show them that you CAN have a good outcome if caught small enough, early enough, have good surgery with clear margins & no node involvement followed up by radiation & tablets!
All the best with your results - try not to sweat on it - just get out & do what you normally do - i.e., keep busy. ;)
