cancer, dysphoria 

I've been trying to get my top surgery approved for almost a year now and they keep saying "It's pending" and I'm sure they want to push it until rollover and make me pay off another deductible.

It's enough to make me wish for a cancer scare to push the procedure forward.

I've already requested a BRCA because of the prevalence in my family history for breast cancer.

It's not just dysphoria- I honestly can't bind or even wear bras anymore without being overstimulated or being in agony from inflamed/compressed breast tissue.

My aunt died from BC chemo complications at 40. I'm 32. My Oma had BC TWICE. My other aunt found a lump recently.

I'm scared I'll be next.

I just... I want these stupid things gone. Not just for my mental and physical health, but for peace of mind for me and my girlfriend.

I want to make sure that she doesn't have to worry about me. I plan on marrying this wonderful woman, and I don't want to make a widow of her.
