@rowey last week at Melbourne airport I went through xray machine and woman says to me what's going on in my bra and points to my left side. I said it's my prosesthis as I've had a mastectomy. She says can I take it out and I say not really. Still in public she says show me. I pulled my top to the side and separated my bra to show the prosesthis. She says can she have a feel and I said yes. Well she had a feel alright. Said to my husband ive been felt up before I've even had a coffee.
