UnBreasted
Proud advocate and breast cancer survivor - Joanna Atzori. I'm co-administrator of the Sunshine Coast Breast Cancer Friendship Circle, a social group for breast cancer survivors who gather for friendship, support and understanding.
Today the Sunshine Coast flat community came together in celebration of International FLAT Day.
We showed pride and love for our bodies in our annual topless swim at Mooloolaba Beach, Qld.
Being involved in the breast cancer community has been a huge part of my survivorship and I'm grateful to The Breast Cancer Physio for inviting me to be part of creating the Sunshine Coast Breast Cancer Friendship Circle six years ago. Little did I know at the time this network of fellow breast cancer survivors would become so important.
Being an advocate in the flat community has pushed me well outside of my comfort zone but I've managed to convince the introverted part of me that what we're doing is more important than staying comfortable.
Thank you to the women in my breast cancer circles and flat community for supporting each other and for showing me how we can make a difference in this world.

On this International FLAT Day 2025, I proudly share my respect, compassion and support for all people who have experienced living in a body with either one breast (unib**ber) or no breasts (aesthetic flat closure).
No matter how you choose to live your life after mastectomy, whether your choice is to present as fully flat, wear prostheses, or undergo reconstructive surgery…your decision about your body should be made using information presented in an unbiased way without assumptions, judgement or influence from others.
Flat means different things to each individual - something I’m still learning five years after transitioning from a unib**ber to a flattie. I’ve met some of the most amazing people on this journey and I’m grateful for the experiences breast cancer has thrown my way.
Flat? Reconstructed? Use prosthetics? Angry? Happy? Private? Comfortable? Proud? Struggling? Still working it out? (Me too)
All of these are valid and all are welcome in my world.
