We are born with breasts Really just nipples on flesh We grow and they grow Young girls check each other’s We start harnessing them in training bras We compare I felt mine were never enough Always small; a little pointy Never perfect And certainly not worthy to be objects Of any mans affections But men […]
I went to the PS this morning for a fill. I knew with the scab there, she may not fill my left one again, especially since the weird yellow-ey ooze. So she filled the right, which is getting big! I’m still pretty flat on the scab left side. So she then goes at the scab […]
Ok so here is a serious of the progression of my chest so far. Warning: those of you with queezy stomachs or who just ate please turn the page. This is just to prepare any future women of some of the complications of the nipple scabbing up. All in all my right side is like […]
What a bitch! It’s about 1:30am and I’m creeping to the kitchen for some Percs and Valiums. What an ordeal it was in the hospital, and I had to stay an extra day. I got home yesterday. The pain control has been the worst by far and they had me on 5mg of Dilaudid via […]

…That was a mouthful! Anyways, I have read through a ton of lists of current and former patients who have undergone mastectomies, both prophylactic and.. well.. necessary! Despite the fact that my surgery is still two weeks away from today, I am trying to dot my “i’s” and cross all my “t’s”, since my OCD […]
23 Days left with these suckers. You know, I never really was that close to or in love with my boobs anyways. I think I always felt they were inadequate, in addition to the fact that it has always bothered me to have them touched. I know that may sound strange, but SO many women […]
It was a warm fall day in November. I was sitting in the kitchen talking to my mother, when I received a phone call from a number I did not recognize. Little did I know, that this phone call would change my life. As I apprehensively said “hello?” a warm, calm and wise voice from […]
