Managing you, your life, and your body before and after mastectomy

Community support for all those involved in the life altering transition of a single or double mastectomy. From those who are scheduled for surgery or those who've since recovered but want to offer experience, and glean wisdom for living with it while not being defined by it. Discussions can range from what to pack for hospital, what is most helpful around the house, or even what to wear and how to rethink physical feminine identity. The idea is to support everyone where they're at.

Things to keep in mind

1: Personal opinions and experiences are welcome, but disrespect is not. Different opinions are bound to be present. As a community, we seek to aquaint and educate ourselves with how to handle the cards we've been dealt and the decisions necessary therein. Making decisions you feel confident about is important, and sharing them ihere is most welcome. But any comments that directly undermine another member's confidence or choices will be considered and evaluated for a warning or ban. Basically, play nice

2: We are stalwart. We are courageous. We are pretty awesome. But we are not, by any stretch of the imagination, qualified to replace medical recommendations of your doctor.

3: This is primarily a community forum. As such, for now, only text based posts are allowed. Any links for products or other sites are welcome in moderation within the context of discussion.
