  So? Go about your life as normal. Ive seen women with single and double mastectomies at nude resorts. I felt, good for you, more power to you. They treated it as nothing more than a story of lifes ups and downs.

  So sorry to hear this poor you. It does not matter what we say here ultimately it is how you feel.

  I once new a guy who had lost almost all of is calf muscle on one leg. This was due to a motor bike accident. It was very obvious a wonder he was able to walk. He wore his scars like a badge of honor. I lived I am alive I am a survivor.

  Your scars/reconstructed breast say the same about you. One of the beautiful things about nudism is it highlights we are all different and I don't think anyone is going judge you. They may be more willing to talk to you as it gives them reason to strike up a conversation.

  Reconstructed breast I believe are missing nipples (May be different now). Some women get nipples tattooed on others get beautiful elaborate tattoo right across their breast so that the tattoo is the point of interest.

  I do agree with the above post. Live and enjoy. Cancer has taken so much form you if you enjoy nudism don't let it stop you. You are still you... Your breasts did not define you.

  Keep strong I hoper you find your path.

  I agree with what others said. Just be you. The new you. I too have seen women at the nude resorts that's had total mastectomies and they go about things as regular as anybody else. Including swimming. I ve seen not so confident women who are insecure of themselves nude, or new at the resort gravitate to these women. I think it builds their confidence. Ive seen amputees, war wounds, colostomies and much more. And they all seem well adjusted in the environment.

  I fully understand your concerns so this true story from a few years ago may amuse and help you.
  I am as breast fixated as most men and one time we were at our usual weekend nudist campground and my wife said something about the lady with the mastectomy I replied that I hadn't seen her. My wife then told me that I had been chatting to her for the last quarter hour.
  That may give you an idea of just how little embarrassing your new appearance really is.

  To Wet-passion. Our thoughts are with you as you go through this process. You will never be judged by True Nudists. The comments above are a great indication of what we believe.

  I know nudists who have had mastectomies who continue to socialise as nudists. I know other nudists who have had operations which change their physical appearance significantly who still mix nude with others. I know that this type of change caused them to seriously consider whether they would continue to be social nudists, understandably so. At least one of the women who had a mastectomy took a good while to re-appear in public. As far as I am aware none of them have had a bad experience when returning to the nudist world, these are all people who I know reasonably well. Real nudists are well known for being accepting of others in the variety of ways that we all come in.

  I spent yesterday at a nudist spa with a few friends. One of them lost an eye and part of a leg in an accident some years ago, she was as involved in social interactions as much as any of us that we had there with other nudists. Her physical appearance did not mean that she was dealt with in a different way by strangers to the rest of our group.

  Good luck.

  First of all, Im very sorry about your cancer and Im hoping that you will have a good recovery.

  I had a friend that lost a breast. She had a reconstruction and kind of wanted to show it off. She asked me to go to the nude club (the only time Ive had a woman ask me). She was comfortable there and we ended up having a talk about her recovery. The next thing we know, a woman comes up to us and asks her, are you a survivor too.

  They had a great talk.

  I dont know if this will be your experience, but remember that there are women everywhere that have gone through this. You wont be alone.

  I have to agree with everyone else based on my resort experience which total 5 different locations.

  First let me wish you the best of health in the future and we all know you will fight through this. At every resort visit I have been too you see a number of women who have scares from their struggle with the terrible illness but who, can feel completely at home. I proud of being a nudist to say that in our community it makes no difference what scares your body may have or illness you may have because you will be completely accepted.

  Best of future luck and be proud of your fight!

  [quote]Bf and I have enjoyed nudist activities past 10 yrs.Recent breast cancer....Now double mastectomy with reconstructionWhat do i do now.Getting them fixed but they dont look natural55yr old What you do is count yourself as a survivor! It's the person inside that is important not your body parts. We hope all goes well with your surgery, your reconstruction surgery and your recovery. Once healed and ready to visit clubs, resorts, beaches, any nude venue, just do it! My wife and I have seen many, many female breast cancer survivors and we congratulate them on their recovery and their remission. The lack of breasts, the reconstructed breasts are of no consequence to real nudists. Real nudists will accept you for who your are. The best to you![/quote] Couldn't have said it better myself.

  I am about your age and have many friends who have gone through mastectomies. Many had someone in a generation before them die of cancer and given the choice, they decide to fight it like a warrior to put the whole c-thing behind them. As a man I recognize that I can never understand, but I can admire. Breast reconstruction using plastic surgery is so advanced that not only are the breasts completely natural looking, they are also right-sized. Best of all, unlike my male middle-aged flab, they even defy gravity. I see women's tremendous resolve which only strengthens from the experience and they become living, glowing examples of the Finnish concept of sisu (look it up!). Good luck.

  I recall the actress Christina Applegate saying after her total mastectomy and reconstruction . I'll have the perkiest boobs in the old folks home. Great attitude.

  As one cancer survivor to another, my heart goes out to you knowing what you've been through and although I hate to welcome anyone to this club, being a member makes you one of the brave and one of the lucky.

  The most beautiful woman I've ever met had been through a mastectomy and was celebrating 10 years; we both know that every year in the life of a cancer survivor is an achievement. Her scars were the story of her journey and what made her the most beautiful woman in the world to me was the light of life that shone in her eyes.; waging this battle and coming through it can either break you or make you so aware of what it's like to survive and to live.

  You were beautiful before and you're beautiful now; Do what you can or want to do in order to feel better about the exterior, but truly know it's the interior that will shine through.

  My wife won the battle with breast cancer like a champion. She is the strongest person I know. She is 2+ years beyond treatment and is fabulous.

  She too has struggled with the aftermath of the surgery. Like others have said I think her scars are badges of honor. I really wish she could see others like her to give her comfort and healing.

  I wish the best for you. Do what you need to improve your sense of well-being, but please don't hide yourself away.

Make it stunning and with plenty of color. Heck, it may be covered by insurance. Just my suggestion, but think about it. Hope this helps.
