Hi Adriana!

First off, I'm glad you are stable and hope you are sticking in there!

I work for 22otters, a mobile health development company based in San Mateo, California. We are looking to create a platform for smartphone apps where women considering or proceeding with a mastectomy can share their stories (anonymously or not) or gather tips and advice from each other.

We are looking for "seed" stories before we launch the application, which will be free to download from Google Play or Apple app stores. Our hope is to gather enough of these stories so eventual users will feel comfortable or inspired to submit their own.

I was really impressed by your posts and was wondering if you would be interested in submitting an initial seed story? If you are interested, you can send a 30-60 second story (or many stories on different topics) to my email:lucy@22otters.com. Any audio file format is fine, just please attach a username so we can identify you. Or, if you aren’t comfortable with us using your voice, you can just send a text blurb and we can get a voice actor to record it.

We’d really appreciate your input, stories, and advice.
Thanks!
Lucy
