Feeling challenged by clothes shopping?
I'd like to reach out to other women who find
it hard to buy clothes because of changes to their bodies brought
about by breast cancer. I'm almost 60 now and have lived with a mastectomy for
over 20 ...
I ain understand completely what you are describing above.
After a double mastectomy in 2016 I was more aware of what features I looked for when shopping - the neckline being number one focus for me. Did not have the cleavage to fill some garments.
Have since had a diep flap reconstruction in 2019 so my abdominal spare tyre has gone, which in my case is causing another set of problems with my change of shape. Pants have to fit my waist but then tend to fall down to the flat area.. Can pull my pants down without undoing some of them, hence my new best friends are draw string pants or a belt.
Flat tummy, careful what you wish for 🙂.
