Welcome to the new site address--please bookmark it (flattops.webs.com). GeoCities is closing down, so Flattops is now located on Webs.

Join the "Redwork Club" beginning January 1, 2010! We'll be working on one design per month (the correct design for the corresponding month) from the Grace Redwork Page, and chatting about it over on the Grace Redwork Message Board. Mark your 2010 calendar, stock up on #498 DMC and muslin, and get ready for fun! The club is free--but you have to stock your own supplies, which are readily available from any craft store. At the end of the year, you'll have a lovely quilt to keep or share, and lots of fun memories.

The official logo doll has just been released and it's . . . FREE! Patterns included are for the doll, dress, chemo cap, wigs, and more: Rag doll pattern.


Welcome! This website is for women of all ages who have not had reconstruction surgeries after mastectom(y/ies) due to cancer/cancer-genes. It's here to assure you that there are others like you! It's unknown how many women don't seek reconstruction (although it's up to 84% of women), but while we may seem like we're in the minority, there are a lot of us out there. Why do we feel like there's no one else like us?

There seems to mostly be information online about plastic surgery, and--until now--nothing online for women who aren't interested in it. This site is meant to be an alternative to the wealth of resources that exist on plastic surgery. It's for women who have already explored the options and decided that they don't want reconstruction, as well as for ladies who have been living as "flattops" following cancer-related or prophylactic (cancer gene-related) surgery.

Stop by and stay for awhile. You're sure to make some new friends. Whether you're awaiting surgery or had it years ago, please join--to learn, to be a mentor to other women, or both.
