Totally agree with this, Hussein. This is my standard technique and I find that marking up pre-operatively with the patient standing upright gives the most reliable results. (Completely different to how I was taught as an SHO with an on-table randomly drawn skin ellipse).

I'm a big believer that if you are going flat and not having a reconstruction, then you should have a nice flat tidy chest. #flatmeansflat

How many people out there have had their implants removed and have decided flat is the way to go? Or their implants made them ill? @Casondraprice initially had implants and then got sick from them anyone else? She is now president of @flatclosurenow !!!!! Check them out!

It matters that patient advocates are enabled to get to conferences - it enables the wider online community #bccww
Hear! Hear! Advocacy work is expensive, conferences in big cities are outrageous. There are creative ways to help...if we were included in the discussion for change. #20years #stillcountingpennies

An oncologist is like a waiter. She can describe and recommend a dish, but you’re the one making the dining decision. The waiter doesn’t experience the dish during or after the meal. It’s your body. Remember that. #bcsm #metastaticbc – at Laguna Niguel, CA

When facing a #mastectomy, it's vital to discuss & understand all options, including opting out of #breastreconstruction. Important read.

This tweet is for Dr. Ford. You put yourself through so much and I want you to know it wasn’t in vain. You started a movement and we’ll see it through. If they won’t listen to our voices, then they’ll listen to our vote.
