Hello and welcome to you @rhombusrhombus. It makes me so happy to hear that our merry band have helped you through and that you are now ready to join in and share your hope and experience with others. Thank you so much for that. I had not even heard of an endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy so this is all interesting info. I have just looked it up and it sounds like pretty impressive stuff. I have scars all over the place so I guess yours would be minimal if you go for this. However, I love all those women who go flat and then do things like run the London Marathon bare-chested! Not suggesting for a minute that you should be thinking about it but the public celebration of survival and rejection of shame bring a tear to my eye. Talking of which, I MUST post a pic of my nipple tassel tattoo now that it has healed. I’m at work at present and have found that whipping it out tends to make men yell and hide their eyes. So funny! It makes me want to continue to flash. I think we would all be really interested to hear what you decide and how you came to that decision.
I went to my local pub’s summer party on Saturday night and it was the 80s band again that came last year. I danced all night. By all night, I of course mean from 8:30 to 11:30pm but I could have gone on. I share this because once again it makes me realise how far I’ve come and fills me with gratitude. I’m grateful for the energy, the health, my body’s ability to heal and getting to feel like I was 15 again. Heavens to Betsy, did I suffer for it on Sunday. It was all I could do to order a curry delivery but it was worth it. My wish for you all is that everyone gets to dance again to the music of their teenage years. It does the soul immeasurable good.
