Great news about your photo shoot. My husband and I did a plaster cast of my boobs before surgery. It was great fun for us both to do.
Remember to take your time, it is not easy ( well for me it wasn't ). The next couple of weeks will be tough but remember you are not alone and I would be so happy to chat with you if you would like. My email is [email protected]. Any time Sue. Would love to hear how you are going. Xx Tracey
