THURSDAY, Jan. 14, 2021 (HealthDay News) When journalist Catherine Guthrie learned that she would need to have a mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis, she was shocked by what seemed like a cursory explanation from her surgeon about what would happen next.
That included removing both of her breasts, adding implants, and moving a muscle from her back to her chest to make the results look more natural. It didn t feel right to her. She went home, thought about it and decided to go flat.
I feel great about it. I love my body. I love the freedom I have in my body. I love that I have full mobility and strength in my body. I m as flexible and strong now 10, 11 years later as I was then, said Guthrie, who already had back issues and had been concerned about how the surgery would impact that. I absolutely have zero regrets.
