Carol,
Glad to read that you are doing fine. I've finished round 6 of chemo and am now facing surgery. I am also large breasted and considering removing both breasts, without reconstruction. The thought of no bras is actually kind of nice after years of underwires! Your positive response, along with your husbands and friends, makes me feel more comfortable with this decision. Thanks for sharing!
Chris
Dear Chris, I think you are making the right decision-and I sure wish you well. I will keep you in my thoughts with positive images. Just think how much money we will be saving on those Bras-not to mention all those metal wires. And, in case we ever should be so inclined-We can go out side and water the lawn with no blouce or shirt-just the men folk. Not that I ever did but I could if I wanted to...I am surprised to hear that you received your chemo BEFORE your surgery? New treatments and meds are arriving practially daily. Hold on to your good thoughts and you WILL survive. ~carol
