Positive attitude
Hi All. Before I was hit by cancer, I did take a pride in my positive attitude to things. Since the diagnosis, I have been through several ups and downs, but honestly mostly feeling down. I do try to keep busy and meditate but many at times negative thoughts have been overpowering. Any advise or experiences please?

Suggestions for non wired bras for larger cup sizes
Hi everyone Does anyone have any suggestions for non-underwired bras for larger cup sizes? I had a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago and I’m currently in post-surgery bras. But interested to know what to get - once the breast is completely healed I guess. Being larger in the cup, I still need good support. Any ideas? Thank you :)

DMX, Flat (no reconstruction) and Loving it
I have seen a few posts lately about double mastectomy and staying flat and wanted to share my experience. I have turned 37 last month. I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction on 2 February 2022 and couldn’t be happier with my decision. I am staying flat and have no regrets. If anyone here is approaching surgery…
