Examples

“I'm now about six weeks post-surgery, the (proud?) owner of two brand spanking new "foobs" (fake boobs), and I've had some time to process the new additions.”

“A mastectomy is far different from a breast augmentation, because the surgeon removes all of your breast tissue, which sometimes makes it more difficult for your new breasts to look natural. Would I have to go through all of this and hate my body? But, I can very happily report that I love my foobs.”

“Gradually, I became more and more confident about spending time without a foob. I started going foobless around the house with my family, then gradually started introducing short shopping trips and family walks, and within months I had given up on post-surgical bras and foobs altogether.”

“The suggestions that came back to me either assumed I’d be wearing foobs (breast cancer lingo for fake boobs) or that I would want to conceal my flat chest and its battle scars under high necklines, loose-fitting tops and ugly patterns.”
