I let Dr. Mosier know since he was the one who had asked me to attend the meeting and be a model. He was not pleased with this news and said he would look into their "policy" as he thinks it's ridiculous that I can't participate...amen Dr. M! I can understand where the BCRC is coming from but I still think it would be great for them to extend their outreach to men/women that haven't had breast cancer yet either.
Last night I attended the Art Bra Austin Model Q&A to hear about this fundraising event and to learn more about becoming a model for the show in June. To saw I was blown away and very excited is an understatement. I had already found an Austin artist to work with and was getting some thoughts and ideas together to help her with the design, but..... You knew there was going to be a but, right? Apparently even though I have gone through the reconstructive process, since I am not a breast cancer survivor or a client of the BCRC, I cannot be a model for the show. I left extremely disappointed but also very emotional. I was disappointed for obvious reasons but the emotional side had many parts.
