Melanie Brown on choosing to live with one breast after a mastectomy

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Melanie Brown refuses to hide her mastectomy. She asks why society, and bra makers, still struggle to accept or cater for women who have one healthy breast and don鈥檛 want reconstruction or to wear a prosthetic. Melanie doesn鈥檛 want to pretend she hasn鈥檛 had a mastectomy and wonders why, when so many millions of women go through this, it is something she is expected to disguise.
