Rosie's Boobs-Be-Gone Surgery!

Look, I want to get something off my chest... Hi! I'm Rose (some of you may know me as Leah or the crazy bird lady) and for the past decade, I've been wanting a breast reduction due to both mental and physical reasons, except now it's become a need rather than a want. I've been trying to get "abreast" of the situation and have had multiple visits to the doctors to get an appointment with the breast clinic- I was finally referred, only for them to "nip" it in the boo- I mean bud! The sole reason being that I would need to have a BMI of 25 to even be considered, although I would very nearly hit 25 if it wasn't for my short stature of 4'11, my body weight *and* my chesticles!

However I wasn't even asked for my weight and they didn't wait for an appointment. The truth is, the NHS just can't handle a lot of things anymore and breast reduction surgery is only considered a cosmetic procedure, even if it's for genuine medical reasons like mine.

My bust has seriously diminished my quality of life and it's all going south (oh the puns!). I've had constant neck/shoulder/back pain over the years and being so short, my chest affects a lot of my day-to-day activities including work and this has gotten serious lately. I get friction, rashes and all of the fun stuff associated with having a bigger bust, including a fear of summer and a lighter purse as I'm forced to spend extra on over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders (the only GG I want to see for the rest of my life is after a good online gaming session with friends!)

More seriously however, because of the complications of my chest, I've also had a few cancer scares over the years and more recently started developing serious and persistent infections which go on to affect my whole body, made worse by the fact I have to take lifelong steroids and HRT for adrenal insufficiency and menopause at 27 years of age. These infections are causing me severe pain and distress to the point I went to the emergency department out of desperation. I'm not currently able to do anything I enjoy and I'm not able to go back to work until it gets better. I'm not currently able to do much at all, which has made everything extremely tough for me, as I love my animals, hobbies and my job. It's so severe that the doctors have told me to see a private dermatologist instead for these issues as a result of my chest, which I am thankfully seeing on the 26th of November. I have also been advised to seek breast reduction surgery privately which is exactly what I'm doing and it can't come soon enough!

The costs of the dermatologist, treatment, surgery itself, travel and aftercare are far more than the target figure I've shown here, and I'm not expecting to hit anything near this amount, but I really would be grateful for any donations, wishes of good luck, anything at all to help me get that boobs-be-gone surgery and live a normal, happy life again. Thank you for reading this far and thank you so much for your support!
