Fuck this so much. My aunt had a mastectomy because of breast cancer. This is fucking insulting.

I knew a woman who was totally burdened by her enormous breasts. This woman was thin, always had a stoop, and was in her 60s. I figured she had horrific osteoporosis.

Then she had a breast reduction, and her back was suddenly ramrod straight. She seemed so much happier and healthier without all that extra weight on her chest-- I think it took her forever to get it approved by insurance, and she worked for a hospital.

And yes, tons of women get billed like crazy for implants after cancer related mastectomies, which I think is bullshit.
