Donna Williams - living breastless

Women having mastectomy are generally presumed to want to have reconstruction or at least breast prostheses. I was a 14C, rather medium sized in the breast department. But I chose to have neither, go 6 months as a one breasted woman before my 2nd mastectomy and explore ways of living confidently and femininely with my mastectomied chest. Here I demonstrate how I went about doing some of that. I hope others find it useful. For more on women who choose to go breast free visit:

all the best with your own journeys.

thanks. I got your message re AS and I understand your isolation and pretty much I felt that way too about some of my autism, especially meaning deafness and being face blind, and some of the sensory issues, and dealing with dissociative issues/PTSD was also isolating, so was cancer, so I figure, in the end, its like a challenge, to keep striving to connect with the world regardless just like we'd hope the world wouldn't turn its back completely on any of us.
