Two years ago I had my second mastectomy to make me symmetrical again. GG cup breasts to living flat. My body shape has totally changed since being diagnosed with breast cancer and so has my life From starting my blog, doing topless photo shoots, radio & TV appearances, national press articles, recording podcasts and talking on panels - I didn’t think I’d do any of those The same goes for my voluntary work. I support women who are going through tough times because of breast cancer. But while I was going through it I couldn’t have thought that I’d one day support others I’ve had so much support along the way. From my family and friends, the friends I‘ve met on social media & especially @flatfriendsuk who helped me make my decision not to reconstruct. I hope to continue to promote living flat as a positive choice after mastectomy... and I’ll do it my way. Swipe across to see the transformation from large breasts to no breasts 📸 @suelaceyphotography @sophiemayanne #amibarwell #breastcancer #mastectomy #livingflat #positivechoices #bodyacceptance

After meeting @steph_dontbuyherflowers at @su2c Defiance event, she asked me to put together my very own selection from the Stand Up To Cancer package. I was really excited to do this and here’s what I chose based mainly on my chemo experience. Lip balm, luxury cashmere socks, a voucher for some ready made food, water bottle with straw, notebook & ginger teabags. Last week, the package arrived at my house! Thank you so much Steph - such a kind & thoughtful gesture. I love it. And I especially love that the teabags have been swapped out for a ready mixed gin & tonic!! My package will be available to purchase shortly. There are so many gorgeous items that can be put together for a really thoughtful gift. Thanks @dontbuyherflowers #gifted #thoughtfulgifts #dontbuyherflowers #cancer #itstherhoughtthatcounts #chemogift #breastcancer

Disappointed for @englandrugby but what a wonderful win for @bokrugby Loved seeing Siya Kolisi lifting the trophy. The way he sang the anthem before the match brought tears to my eyes. If England had to lose I’m glad it was to South Africa. It clearly means so much to the entire nation. And also...I’m one quarter South African #rugbyworldcup #engvsa #rainbownation

I’m happy to be #80 of #100stories which is encouraging #openconversations about #cancer There’s one week left to preorder the book on #kickstarter. @helenatraill has worked so hard to@make this book a reality so please do support her #breastcancer #su2c #flatfriends Posted @withrepost • @100storiesbook Here is @julietkfp talking about #openconversation surrounding cancer and the #100StoriesBook 💙 Juliet is story #80 of #100stories and there is just 1 week left to #preorder the book via #kickstarter • link in bio • @helenatraill created #100Stories because she wanted to add to the #cancer conversation. Her father was diagnosed with two brain tumours 19 years ago, when Helena was only three years old. “So like many people, cancer has played a big part in my life. Despite this, my dad has never been keen to talk about his illness. Whilst I admire his bravery, I believe scary subjects, like cancer, need to be talked about openly. This is why I have created 100 Stories”. #SU2C @su2c #flatfriends #livingflat #bcam #breastcancer #recovery
