Reveal

I'm on a mission to make the post mastectomy body more acceptable and reduce the shock of seeing a mastectomy for the first time. So being a shy and retiring person (yes really!) I took my clothes off and revealed all in Reveal Magazine and this is the result.




When I had my mastectomy I had not seen even a photo of one and it was hard to imagine how I would look. I really hope the photo makes a difference.

    I wish I had seen more beautiful pictures of a post mastectomy body before I had my surgery. I was so scared and after all I don't feel I look bad at all (I had a mastectomy at the age of 36 and no reconstruction). I hope people get used to it and thanks for heping us all.

    Amazing stuff! You're incredibly brave to do that, and I think it will inspire women to find that bounce of courage when going into surgery. The scar is part of us, a badge of survival. Good for you to be so brave! Plus, it shows how lovely a non-reconstructed body can be. Thumbs up.
