Tits Off: Cancer, Flat Closure, and Moving the Hell On – A Candid Account of Double Mastectomy, Recovery, and Breast-Free Living

Product Description

Getting breast cancer means making life-altering decisions on a tight deadline while strangers stare, poke, and prod at your chest.It’s exhausting, expensive, and overwhelming. The last thing you need is shame over wanting to cut your tits off and never look back.Tits Off is a candid, no-B.S. account of choosing aesthetic flat closure. It’s about processing the painful, absurd parts of breast cancer without letting the experience define your identity or future. Living breast-free is a valid, liberating option. You don’t owe anyone an explanation (or a fake pair of boobs).Diagnosed with breast cancer at 44 after years of high-risk surveillance and two false alarms, I couldn’t wait to get rid of my breasts. Even so, it wasn’t easy. This is the book I wish I’d had at the time: equal parts gallows humor, raw honesty, and spiritual musing.I wrote this book for:The flat-curious who have no time for platitudes and want the straight dope.Would-be flatties getting pushback from doctors, loved ones, or internalized beauty standards.Anyone who feels alone in this process and needs a fierce imaginary friend in their corner.Supporters trying to better understand the breasted and unbreasted experience.Here’s to living with less chest, more heart, and moving the hell on.
