Amanda Barrett celebrates her decision to live flat and hopes to normalize going flat after breast cancer treatment.

“I love no boobs. I'll take this side effect,” says Amanda.

Two months after giving birth to her son, Amanda Barrett was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Amanda had a port placed and chemotherapy started within two weeks of getting her diagnosis (ER+, PR-, HER+). She breastfed her son right up to her first chemo treatment and went through the emotional and physical pain of stopping.

“I love no boobs. I'll take this side effect,” says Amanda.

She sings praises about her surgeon. Dr. Karen Tisinai at Union Hospital located in Terre Haute, Indiana. Dr. Tisinai strictly performs mastectomies and does not perform reconstruction surgeries.

“I'm all about normalizing flatties and celebrating our resilience.”

"We can only go so far to differences in nutrition habits or exercise. For me at least, we know that there are economic access issues. We know there are cultural issues in being able to identify these problems and seek out and get access to the help you need early enough. I think that’s the sort of thing we can fix without much studying further."

Kelly Cramer was breastfeeding her 16-month-old baby, she noticed that her daughter started favoring one breast. When she would try to feed on the right breast it was painful for Kelly and eventually, her baby stopped feeding on the right side altogether.

Kelly decided to get checked out and her doctors prescribed her antibiotics and advised her to stop breastfeeding and it would pass. Kelly was later diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2016.

“One night, I was rocking my baby to sleep and I was scrolling on a message board and someone said, ‘Maybe it's IBC.’ It was a God moment. I was like ‘that’s what I have,’” says Kelly.

Kelly uses prosthetics from time to time, but ultimately stands by her decision to go flat.

“Some days are harder than others. I know I don’t look like the societal norm in clothes, and sometimes that’s tough.”

After caring for her mother during her battle with stage IV stomach cancer, Michelle Patidar trusted her instincts when a dream-state visit from her mother warned her about her own health.⁣
⁣
"About one year after my mom had passed, I had this dream. And I hadn’t had a dream about my mom at that point," she recalls. "In my dream, I was taking a shower. My mom was in the bathroom with me. We were chatting and joking around. I got out of the shower and I was brushing my hair. All of a sudden, my hair started falling out with each brushstroke." ⁣
⁣
Michelle scheduled her annual physical with her primary doctor just to be safe after the dream. She would later receive a call from her doctor that a very large mass on the interior of her chest had been discovered. ⁣
⁣
"I remember suffering with extreme anxiety, waiting weeks for the results. And I remember walking into the doctor’s office. She insisted my husband and I sit down and she told me I had cancer." ⁣
