Breast Free support/empowerment?

[turtles_path]

I got to wondering if, in your travels, you've come across any support communities for women who have had a bi-lateral mastectomy w/o reconstruction that choose not to use prosthesis? I've been fortunate to be connected with two inspiring women and I've done a few searches on the net from time to time, but have mostly come up empty. I know about breastfree.org I wrote to her with no response, and saw a couple of old posts on the FORCE boards, but overall the status quo is for reconstruction... not surprising and completely understandable... I've just been alarmed that their isn't a lot of talk about this option and support/empowerment for those of us who choose it. At some point down the road when I've got some more healing and community organizing experience under my belt I definitely want to work on raising awareness/empowerment for us.

In the meantime, though, Anyone out there choose not to reconstruct or wear prosthesis? Know of any active communities for us?

Here's a few sites I've come across that address it:
