Magical Uniboob and Queer Ninja
5 years cancer free, 5 years flat and 5 years as an activist. "There have been times when I've been thinking that it could be nice to have a "normal" body and I felt weary of the struggle that it sometimes can be to not conform. But the tiredness I experience is only associated with… Continue reading The Big 5 Year Mark
(picture by Marie Louise Flindt Herløvsen) In a little over three months it's been three years since the mastectomy and therefore three years since I've been declared free of cancer (or no evidence of disease as its called). Which is so Yay! But cancer is not your everyday disease, if it spreads the consequences are… Continue reading Another burden of my uniboob chest
Art exhibition, TV, book and a cover of a magazine! On all channels I truly got the chance to show my "new" body this past 6 months and it's been a blast. For me this entire waltz has been more than backwards, I've never been so confident in my overall appearance and general existence in… Continue reading Showtime
An exhausting and out of the ordinary day indeed The first half of the day was kind of crazy as I was filmed half naked for a kids show(!) on a national kids TV channel called DR Ultra. The theme was breasts and there were five of us, wearing undies as our only garment, in… Continue reading Ultra Day
I don't think about having had cancer on a daily basis anymore. Some time during the last half a year I stopped identifying myself as a cancer patient. I didn't even realize that it happened, but the shift is big. And the relief equally paramount. My scar has simply become a beautiful part of me… Continue reading Scarred, but not Scared
So today I got up at five o'clock to travel to Aarhus, because I had the honor of being invited to talk at the annual national breast cancer conference in Skejby. The talk was aimed at nurses, representing all hospital departments in Denmark working in this area and the interest for my viewpoint was overwhelming;… Continue reading Dialogue with the health care system
One year uniboob already; I can't decide for myself if time has gone by fast or slow. Both is true in a way, it feels like ages ago and yet I can't believe that's its one year already. My "new" body feels very natural to me now and I have healed so well; I feel… Continue reading One Year with One Boob
An email pops up on my phone one afternoon. "Yes, we'd very much like to use your after picture at the breast surgery ward. We just need to figure out the details. When can you come by to get the slip for the photo studio?" I felt like screaming. So excited. Small that they may… Continue reading Small changes causing big emotions
I'm getting used to daily life with my new self, both mentally and physically, and my energy level seems to be increasing day by day at the moment. Wanting to give an update for a long time, but I've prioritized otherwise; I'm very fond of the idea of me as a busy bee again. It's… Continue reading Ordinary life as an extraordinary uniboob
As the healing of my scar progress, I feel the process mirrored inside of me. To say that the last seven months have been the worst of my life is still an understatement. Just saying the words in my head feels shocking: "I had cancer". Essentially the same disease that killed my grandmother. In general… Continue reading Healing is more than scar tissue
