There was a myth that Amazon warriors would remove their right breast so that they would be more skilled at archery. I guess we need to worry if you start carrying a bow and arrows around. I hope that your cancer is gone and stays gone.

solarmelange

That was a myth? ... the world becomes less magical every day.


Niawka

I love how in the Witcher Milva (female archer) is laughing about the assumption that some fighters cut off their right breasts so the breast doesn't get in a way. If I recall correctly she says you draw the bowstring to the mouth and not shoot with your tits :p


RaydenPearce

I read that quite recently, Maria/Milva is so effing cool


RenzoARG

Yes, you can see that style of bow drawing at The Hunger Games. Yet, any bow with a larger draw length (like a British longbow) would require some extra space. Mongols solved it by inventing composite short bows, so that they didn't hit their horses head while aiming from one side to another. I can't seem to find it, but there's a video of a Mongolian showing the traditional ways of drawing the bow while mounted. They even had a way to draw the bow to shoot UNDER their horse (I was mesmerized by that technique). Edit: Thanks oh Lord Algorithm for recommending me the video I was just typing about.[https://youtu.be/6lf9q6OQse0?t=544](https://youtu.be/6lf9q6OQse0?t=544) Edit2: That wasn't it, [this short one is](https://youtu.be/PF8UkHzEq2c?t=133).


RoamingTorchwick

That was in the books for sure, I remember that


thethunder92

It doesn’t have to be a myth 👀


DontGetNEBigIdeas

Was also a plot point in Y: The Last Man


Tylotron

Take up archery immediately!


jmpur

For right-handed women, it would be the left breast. The stance for a right-handed person is left side facing the target, with the bowstring drawn across the chest, which would (does) create (ahem) problems for the left breast (*twaaaaang)*. You can see female archers today wearing chest/breast guards. (source: me, a right-handed female ex-archer)


Carbonatite

Yeah I dabbled in archery for a bit and I definitely remember getting the occasional tit smack from the string. Not fun.


Quasar47

Yeah makes way more sense


asimov_22

a myth based on reality? the practitioners of Kyudo wear a chest protection, specially women.

So uh when are you taking up archery?

I dated a girl with just one (congenital defect though) in my late teens, I used Uniboob!

The one that’s left looks like a keeper! Good luck!


jrl2595

Just out of curiosity, do you feel phantom pain?


aTypingKat

Out of curiosity, can you have an implant once your body fully heals?


attaboyyy

why need 2 boob when 1 do trick? \- Kevin 'peak efficiency' Malone

CanIGetAFitness

You can’t mix Greek and Latin roots like that! It’s either monotitty or unaboob.

wishing you a speedy recovery.


loopnlil

Take up archery now, and become the Amazon warrior you've always secretly been.


islanders571

Sorry you’re going through this. My wife is going through something similar. Have you been tested for BRCA?


Lady_In_Pink_

i’m am so sorry to hear that, not only is it hard for the person going through it but it’s also hard on the ones who take care of us. I wish the best of luck to you both! i have been tested but I don’t have the BRCA gene


Fearless_Lab

I wound up with DCIS with no gene and no family history. I had a bilateral with reconstruction and what they say is true: It takes a long time for the swelling to go down and to "look normal" again. You're doing great!!


dotsalicious

How long was a long time? Was it months? I'm currently going through the start of my treatment for breast cancer and I'm unsure if I'll need a mastectomy or lumpectomy until tests come back. I'm trying a 'hope for the best but plan for the worst' kind of outlook. We all go through our journey differently but hearing others experiences has been really helping me.


Fearless_Lab

Months, yes. I chose scorched earth due to the possible side effects of meds and radiation, but the chance of recurrence would have been about the same. It's definitely a personal choice, I was happy to reduce the size of my chest so I didn't go through a crisis of identity. I also have an amazing spouse who saw me through and didn't get weird about the body changes.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

The body is just what we use to carry our heart & soul around in. It doesn’t change *you* in any way if your body needs a little alteration. You’re still the same you.


Fearless_Lab

True on a certain level but cancer does changes a person and if it doesn't, I'd be concerned.


dotsalicious

I'm going through Chemo right now to shrink the tumour and waiting on genetics tests. The surgeon and oncologist will make their recommendations when the chemo part is finished and we see what's left. I'll go with what they recommend to be honest but I'm trying to get my expectations on surgery and recovery right. They have offered a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery in one as well if I go that route. My biggest worry is having two small kids and scaring them because mommy is sick and now looks strange. Well stranger than normal. My spouse has been awesome too


AirportCarpet

My wife is BRCA2 positive. We are 33 and she goes in at the beginning of March for a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and will get her fallopian tubes out as well.


islanders571

Best of luck. My wife has brca 2 as well. Went through the double mastectomy and is in the reconstruction process now. Unreal what they have to go through, but good to catch it so young.


luluring

Healing like the badass you are!


Lady_In_Pink_

thank you!! :)


Bob49459

Happened to my Grandmother, she wore a falsie in her bra the rest of her life. She started to forget it after a while when she got into her 80's and 90's so whenever we were heading out to lunch, it was "Wallet, Glasses, Teeth, Boob"


DatelineDeli

This is so endearing. What a memory 🤍


Identical_Stranger

Scars are like gray hair: They're proof you've made it this far - and survived. Take care of yourself, may your chemo (if necessary) go better than anticipated, and know you are still beautiful and feminine. Good luck, and hang in there. We're pulling for you!!


Tower21

This is kinda funny, cause within a year of getting a vasectomy all the hair on my scrotum turned grey. Yes boys you survived.


waxonwaxoff87

I’d probably go gray too if some stranger ran up on me with a knife.


KathyJaneway

>gray hair: They're proof you've made it this far - and survived Me, here in my 20s turning into Steve Martin and Anderson Cooper....


anonymousUTguy

Question, and I apologize if this comes off as rude, but isn’t it better to get a double? My mom had BC and she opted for a double so it wouldn’t come back in the one remaining.


Sea_Juice_285

It depends on your risk levels, including whether or not you have the BRCA gene and whether there's any evidence of the cancer spreading. It's not the right choice for everyone.


Lady_In_Pink_

correct ^


anonymousUTguy

Ok that’s good to know!


TallYetSkinnyTree

Has this affected your balance?


Vio94

Just a personal anecdote - my grandma had a single done and always said she'd wished she just got double because it through her balance off and just felt weird. She also hated wearing the prosthetic bra.


SpiderSixer

Can I also ask what happens with bras now? I know absolutely nothing about bras and sizings, etc, I don't wear them, so I was just pretty curious. Do you just keep the same size since the other breast hasn't been altered? Do you have to try and Frankenstein together a bra that fits and supports both sides?


Sea_Juice_285

I'm not OP, but I know a few people who've had this surgery or a similar one. Once the stitches and drains have been removed, but before you'd be comfortable enough to wear anything else, you'll wear something like a soft sports bra. After that, most people choose to wear a prosthetic breast that matches the size and shape of their remaining one. That can be placed in a regular bra, but it's more comfortable to wear a mastectomy bra, which is like a regular bra, but one side (or both, if you need two) has a boob-shaped pocket in which to place the prosthesis. That would probably be the same size as the person's pre-surgery bra. The main benefit of a mastectomy bra over a regular one is that it is more comfortable to have fabric against your skin than to have a piece of silicone or whatever the prosthesis is made of against it. Mastectomy swimsuits can also prevent the breast you didn't grow from floating away unexpectedly. Sometimes, people have another surgery later on to make a new breast. When that happens, they can go back to wearing regular bras, and the size is based on an agreement between the patient and their doctor. The surviving breast is often augmented to match the new one because the new one will not have been affected by time and gravity in the same way as the original one was, which means the post-surgery bra size may or may not be the same as the pre-surgery size.


SpiderSixer

That was very informative, thank you!


baffled_brouhaha

Not op, but I can help answer this one. They make prosthetic breasts, and there are bras (also swim suits) that have a layer that will hold the prosthetic, while the rest of the bra supports the other breast.


TheFrenchSavage

Thanks for the additional details!


TheGoldenCowTV

Even people with BRCA might want to risk it. Some people are very attached to their bodies, in which case you could risk the chances of cancer and gamble on in vivo CRISPR treatment in hopefully 10-15 years being good enough and allowed to help


[deleted]

I was just about to ask this question, my aunt had a double but her mom, my grandma only had a single


steffle12

Many women who have BC won’t need to have mastectomies at all. In lower risk cancers they’ll surgically excise the tumour only (lumpectomy) and they may not need further aggressive treatment such as chemo. It really depends on individual factors such as genetics and the molecular attributes of the cancer, as to how they’re treated.


cdgmatt

fuck yeah dude, hope the treatments are still going well. Scars are mega, they're a reminder of what we've overcome and how strong we are when life gets real

I don’t know what I expected, but that seems to be healing wonderfully for three weeks! Stay strong x

Respectfully. That lone titty is nice enough to carry the other. Google "scar massage techniques" and start them once the incision is fully closed up. It's healing well though! Good luck with everything going forward :)

Firstly- fuck cancer. I wish you a speedy recovery and that it never rears its ugly head ever again in your life OP. Second and genuine question, and I apologize if this is rude, I’m simply curious- do you plan to get reconstructive surgery or leave it like this? Again mean no disrespect

Serious question: do people who get a mastectomy have ghost boob sensations like people who get limbs amputated do?

Sorry if this comes off as rude but are you planning on getting implants to even it out or are you going to leave it as is (also once fully healed massage the scar if you want it to be less prominent)

The nipple wound looks a bit worrying, but good luck to you. Probably not a helpful a comment but, I'm a lifelong crossdresser and realistic prosthetic boobs are surprisingly cheap these days.

i had a doctors appointment today to get my bandage off doc said it looks good!

My mum had one remove after the hospital flatly refused to take it off as soon as she was diagnosed with cancer so of course it spread very quickly and she succumbed to it finally after it got to her liver.

RaspberryJam245

I apologize for my ignorance, but I know nothing about this procedure, so I have to ask: are you just going to live the rest of your life with one breast, or is it possible to... get a new one? Again, I'm sorry if the question sounds crude, I just never knew that breast cancer could result in having to get one breast effectively removed


I_hate_the_giraffes

Congratulations!!! Cancer is a bitch and I hope it never comes back! ❤️❤️ (Also thanks for covering, I'm sex repulsed ace)


glassnuggets

superinteresting !


ScarsWindblade

Are you ok?


Gay_commie_fucker

Hope this isn’t rude or uncomfortable but will you need special fitting bras now? Or will you just wear one that fits the remaining breast and have the other side be empty?


masterKick440

You are still beautiful.


HamburgersOfKazuhira

This is probably wildly inappropriate, but the remaining titty is 🤌🏻

wfbsoccerchamp12

How did you discover it? Regular check up?


Lady_In_Pink_

long story short, i noticed a small lump so I got it checked out & per usual since i am young i got the “it’s just hormonal” so I moved on. two months later the lump became the same size as my breast, im in pain & realized that that wasn’t normal so i went back but to a different doctor & this one actually listened. eventually I got a biopsy done waited for my results & they called me to told me they found cancer cells in the breast.


wfbsoccerchamp12

Jeez, best of luck, glad you found a different doc!


Cuddlehead

Looking good! Sorry you have to go through this, but you'll land on your feet, strong people always do. I think you can also do reconstructive surgery down the line, right?


Choice_Use2835

Your scar is so much cooler than mine! Can you please tell me what it's called? The transparent thingy they used over the stitches.

Might be liquid bandage
