Thriving After Double Mastectomy - Written by Ellyn Winters, author of Flat Please!
![]()
I used to say to my husband, “God forbid I get breast cancer.” And then I did.
On March 10, 2022, I called my family doctor to discuss the results of my mammogram. “I’m sorry Ellyn, it’s cancer,” she said. When I found out I would be having a mastectomy i made the decision to have an aesthetic flat closure.This is not a journey we need to do alone nor should any woman travel this road with shame or fear. I want women to know that I and others, like the team at The Skarlette, are here to hold your hand.
