I had a breast reduction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.
I had breast cancer. Yeah, I know it's scary.
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.
I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I've had my breasts lifted - but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.
They came and bound me up and I had awful stretch marks. I hated my breasts after that.
I had real big boobs, and I just got tired of knocking over stuff. Every time I eat, 'Oh, Lord'. I'd carry a Tide stick everywhere I go. My back was sore, so it was time to have a reduction.
About four or five weeks after it was publicly announced I was no longer breastfeeding, I got a letter from the NHS saying they were being supportive of me, but basically, they were very disappointed I'd stopped.
When I was 41, I found a lump the size of a grape in my right breast. I ended up bald, sick and exhausted from surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments. Ah, but I got to live.
I got my boobs done because I wanted to even out my lower half, and I thought that would take the focus away from my hips.
I have never had anything done. I've been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it's nobody's business but my own.
