Story

After trying to get a Breast reduction from the nhs for over twenty years with still no surgery in sight, I have decided to try and crowd fund the surgery. Why? I am a 36J or JJ the largest I have been was M/N cup whilst Breast feeding my son when I was 25years old. I would have to hold my breast up with one hand, with my son in the other, simply so he wouldn’t suffocate, more often I expressed as it was easier. I’ve been told by doctors I’m just fat when i was 18 and needed to lose weight… I went to a size 10 except my boobs never got smaller than a J cup. The pain I have suffered for over twenty years is beyond normal. I have constant knots, neck shoulder and lower back pain. lifting is difficult , as are many excersizes due to the strain the boobs cause. Bras are not easy to come by in my size either. I have some sleep apnea we believe is caused by the weight of my chest. I cannot sleep on my back at all. They effect my confidence and they feel like carrying two kilos of sugar. In weight they weigh about a stone each! My mental health has been affected by my boobs and at one time I was so depressed I sat with a big knife thinking if I start cutting them off then surely the docs would have to finish the job, my partner stopped me thankfully. I’ve been on a waiting list for 4 years and am no closer to surgery. In the time ive been on this list i have done a college diploma then a university degree and now am doing my masters. I hope to celebrate my graduation with a reduction thats literally my dream ! I really hope people out there can grasp how every day of my life is detrimentally affected by them and can help.
