Flat Friends www.flatfriends.org.uk

Hello

I’m Sarah Coombes. I’m 40 years old and live near King’s Lynn, Norfolk. I work full-time as a social worker having retrained after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 35. In my spare time, I’m a trustee of the charity Flat Friends UK and founder of flatterfashion.co.uk Since my mastectomy without reconstruction, I’ve put all my energy into developing tips for dressing flat after single or double mastectomy. You can find them on my website or in Flat Friends’ patient booklet Living without reconstruction. Right now, I’m part-way through my Outflat fundraising campaign, sharing a daily selfie of what I’m wearing to raise awareness of day-to-day living and dressing without two breasts.
