Thank you, HT, for this thread. I can't say that I found any scars, but it wasn't for any want of careful examination.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

You probably can't see my scar because I had a cosmetic surgeon do my lumpectomy when I was 29.

I was scared shitless till the tests came back! It turned out to be a benign fibroadenoma, about the size of a pea. I had it removed before it got any bigger.

I'm considering doing like someone did last year, and donating $1 for every Lush lady that shows her tatas. Would that be agreeable to you Hera, since this is your thread? Also, if Sprite and Dancing Doll show their's, I'll put up an extra 5% each of the end-of-month total.

I fail to see how showing your tits on a confined internet forum will help raise awareness to a cause that's already highly widespread: you can spot announcements everywhere, news presenters wear ribbons, plenty of shops have donation boxes. I can't help but think that one must be living an extremely sheltered life if bumping into a few pairs of cyber-tits will suddenly make him/her realize that October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Not to mention that prompting women to show their breasts for the cause is a sheer arbitrary concept; it's like me telling strangers on the street that I'll give $1 to the Colorectal Cancer Association if they can manage to produce an audible fart. Anyone can discreetly donate a fixed amount of their choosing without it being a 'conditional' deed of any sort.
I'm sure it wasn't wrongly intended, but measuring women's investment into the cause by whether or not they're willing to show their boobies to a bunch of unknown creepers is also a pretty low thing to do. Pressuring specific members is even worse: I'm sure both Sprite and Dancing_Doll are already plenty involved into the matter in their own private and personal ways.
If you truly want to support the cause, you can simply donate and move along. There's really no need to turn this into a silly popularity contest.

Who pissed in your Wheaties? Good grief. If you do not wish to participate, just like anyone else, you do not have to. Different communties all over the world have their own fundraisers for charity, doing all sorts of things. On Lush, it seemed like a decent plan. So good a plan, in fact, that last year when it was done ON Lush, the members of Lush raised over $6k for breast cancer research. Could all that money have been raised otherwise? Yes. Would it have been raised? No way to know.
Here's link to the 20 thread pages that happened last year...
Lush... Show Dem Tiddies...
My offer hasn't caught on, and that's fine. But don't call me out for suggesting it. Just move along and find something else to read.

I don't have an opinion either way. Leaning towards preferring that you make a donation outright to either a hospital-based BRCA specialty clinic or to the BRCA foundation of your choosing. I started this thread mostly to show that BRCA survivors can and do have beautiful breasts.
Thank you Liz and Serene for your donations to the fight.
