The girls are gone

I had a bilateral masectomy just over two years ago and I have chosen to have no reconstruction just because it's not something I'm interested in and I'm lucky to feel comfortable with my body. I have prosthesis which I have only worn about 4 times in the two years. I'm a preschool teacher and the children I work with are sometimes curious and look down my top and say "boobies" and I say "boobies gone." The younger children repeat "boobies gone" and the older children say " your boobies got sick didn't they Melinda" and I just say "yes they did" and the kids run off and play. Karens post was so true... Make your decisions based on what's right for you. I find most people don't even notice I'm boobless. I had a session with a stylist at my local Westfield who showed me what clothes to wear to be more flattering and hide that I'm boobless. I feel very confident when I'm out of my work uniform. Look after yourself and rest and celebrate when those drains come out :) Mel xxx
