Re: I think cancer treatment can be in humane
Linn, I can't address your concerns but I couldn't help but notice that you wore a bra. It kind of made me feel sad that you felt it necessary to do so. Is there a way you can dress in something loose and comfortable that will allow you to not wear a bra? I hate that we have to make these concessions to conform. I did it myself and in retrospect wish I had found solutions other than painful and confining garments. Like not wearing them. I don't have any answers. Just empathy. Keep the faith
