To be worn by nudists or topless bathers who have undergone mastectomy without reconstructive surgery, as a badge of pride.

       Not sure I'd like to call even more attention to it. But then, I guess if I was going topless I'm not doing much to hide it. I think it would look like half of a bikini top, though, so it kind of defeats the nudist purpose.

       [k_sra] I was told to keep my scars out of the sun the first year.

       Because having breast cancer is something to be proud of?

       I sense the presense of a ghost...(so glad to see you still alive and kicking, potty!).   

       As for the idea, after watching Melissa E. on the Emmys the other night, I say let's lessen the taboos and quite trying to hide everything that is the result of cancer treatment. I say wear your scars with pride.

       [ps] As opposed to shame ... and maybe a little proud of having beaten the odds.

       You had a mastectomy? They took away your booby? And you probably didn't have that much of one to begin with! I am bewildered and confused. I missed a very important memo... I am not in the loop :(   

       But I am very glad you survived. Very.

       I was expecting that. No, I don't nor have I ever had boobies.

       It's ok, [FJ], you can wear a pushup bra. ; )

       Those who are congenitally without large breasts might want to buy a pair for the nude beach. Or 6.
