When i joined a couple of weeks ago, i had been diagnosed with grade 3 DCIS on left breast and a small area circa 5 mm diffuse DCIS on the right. I had been to multiple mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI, 4...
I was quite large and so yes, quite obvious. But a soft pad did the trick until I could get a prosthesis fitted.

Getting out and about as early as possible helped me feel normal. Stripping off in a open shower area before a hot tub in Iceland was perfectly OK too!
