    Default Camming after illness

    Your thoughts, please, ladies.

    I want to get back on cam.

    I'm pretty much at the end of treatment for breast cancer. I've had chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. I've had a mastectomy with reconstruction but am still to have a second mastectomy and recon (will all be complete by June) so I look a little lopsided! My hair is growing back but I have fabulous wigs I can use.

    Is it too soon to cam again? I miss it sooooo much but don't want to scare people!

    Here's how I look now

    Breast cancer? I kicked its butt...back on cam and loving it!

    I'm sorry Rebecca...I had a mad moment when I saw the content warning and thought I was going somewhere dodgy!

    I think it's only too soon to cam again if you don't feel physically and emotionally up to it. You'll probably get all sorts of responses and there are plenty of jerks out there but if you feel able to handle that then I don't see why not. I'm sure you would be planning on explaining or somehow making it clear what you've been through so there are no sudden surprises. I don't think you'll scare people if they know what to expect. Your confidence will shine through.

    I am bumping this thread because THIS should not be buried under crap threads about superficial things.

    Rebecca honey, welcome back! I am SO empowered by what you have survived. I had a lump scare a few weeks back, and fortunately it came back benign, but it really made me think about what life would be like if. I think as long as you are feeling ready then go for it! And like Katy said, there will always be jerks, but there will also be plenty of people who will have mad respect for what you have survived, and find you super, crazy sexy for that.

    Have fun, and know that we are supporting you and are here for you. Right ladies? I will PM you my email address in case you need anything honey. You are my hero right now.

    I never even saw this thread on the front page earlier,so thank you for bumping it!

    Youre my hero,and i think its extremely cool of you to share your journey on your blog!

    I dont mean this in an offensive way,but maybe you could possibly market yourself to some of the fetish guys.Do you have a studio on C4S? i bet you'd be popular there girl,whether you marketed under amputation or medical etc.Im not sure which category would be best but Im sure there are plenty of ladies here that have been doing it longer that could tell you exactly how and where to capitalize on this.

    Youve just survived cancer after all,why not make money off of it and turn a bad situation (having cancer and the dble mastectomy obviously,surviving it is MORE than an awesome situation) into something positive? Just dont push yourself (which is why i suggested clips over MFC,as live camming can be quite draining at times,which you already know) You still have a mastectomy and reconstruction ahead and you want to be in tip top shape.Do whats best for you girl..

    I wish you soooo much health,happiness and cancer free days ahead and I really commend you on being soooo BRAVE!<3

    Wow just wow! What a fantastic lady you are! I agree that only you can know if you are ready to cam yet physically and mentally but I would add to take it slowly, baby steps. Looking at your blog you seem to have some lovely fans who know and understand your situation, I'm sure they will be there to support and cheer you on too.God you're an inspiration! Only last night I was down for having a bad night,wtf was I complaining about? Whatever you decide to do I wish all the love in the world. Take care and please keep us updated with your progress.

    Your bravery is immense and admirable. It takes a lot of courage to even put yourself out there with what you've gone through and I'm happy to hear that you are doing well.
    As a person with health issues (not comparable to yours) there is no danger in taking it easy. Find a middle ground perhaps? Do some fetish stuff, clips, voyeur camming? People are cruel...it's going to happen. I would think what's most conducive to your health is surrounding yourself with positivity. If you feel 100% emotionally/physically sound to do it, go for it, but brace yourself. Don't push too hard and know that you've got a very concrete plan.

    I can't say what I would do because I've never been in your situation, but I do know there are a lot of guys out there who are going to think you are beautiful. And you are gorgeous! With camming, it's about so much more than how you look. If they like you, they really don't care about your imperfections. I have a huge scar on my back that not one guy has ever commented on. A big smile and great personality go a loooong way Please do keep us updated on how you're doing

    Congrats on finishing your chemo! I don't think anyone is qualified to tell you if it's too soon but I would give yourself sometime. You've gone through so much physically and mentally so take it easy.

    I think you're beautiful!! As long as you're up front about it so there aren't any surprises for the guys who take you private, I think you'll do just fine. As others mentioned, getting a C4S store and filming clips will likely be very profitable for you.

    Congrats on getting through this. You seem to be a very strong and confident woman, and it seems this hardship has only made you stronger. I wish you the best of luck!

    I dont think I can add much to what the other ladies have said. You know what you can handle and you have been here before and know what kind of asses are on cam sites. But , there are the wonderful supportive guys too. Do what feels right for you. You are truly an amazing inspiration to all who have read your blog and this thread. Best wishes going forward.

    You are incredible, and your ability to share your journey is amazing. You obviously have some very thick skin with all you've been through & already know as a cam girl what dicks some guys are- so I think you'll do very well coming back! Just remember to take time for you, you don't necessarily have to jump back into 8 hr shifts. Try small amounts first- if you have old regulars you are still in contact with perhaps you can schedule some shows? Less time in free chat is always better :]
    I also echo getting a clip shop! There's so much you can do in clips that takes little energy but will still get your camgirl juices flowing again (maybe even literally? dirty!)
    You are a beautiful woman, thank you so much for sharing <3

    Rebecca, I read this thread earlier but didn't feel like I could be of much advice. But wanted to ask for an update. How are you feeling? Have you been able to cam? Making clips?

    I think making clips would be a good place to start because you can do things on your own schedule and if you start to feel tired, etc. you can take a break. Hope all is well!

    Btw I read your blog and really liked it!

    Hello sweetie, i have read ur post and looked up ur blog when u 1st posted the message and i must say i got very impressed here, the situation u going thru, u are a strong woman for sure!
    God bless u, i wish u all the very best there!
    Regarding work i would give body and spirit time to heal, cancer its a bitch, u need to take properly care of urself and avoid mental and psychical effort for a while.
    Think also of exposing your body on cam, people are not always nice and symphatetic, are u ready for all kind of comments?
    Also, u need to get back to work cause u need money? I really hope u ok financially and have people that offer support around you. I would hate to know u struggle with money there and that's the reason u wanna cam now.

    Again, your health and well being is the most important in my eyes, i would delay work as much as possible until u fully able to do it safely having in mind the nature of cam work.
    ALL THE BEST THERE!!

    Thank you, everyone.

    I miss the whole world of camming so much and yes, I do miss the money! I've sold a few videos and photos (I've just kept my top on) but I miss the interaction of camming. You know, I may put my wig on (my hair is about an inch long now..it was waist length), keep my top on and do what I do best! See? You've all inspired me :o)

    I saw my oncologist on Thursday and he's seeing my surgeon tomorrow and will ask if my next surgery can be brought forward.

    Your support means a great deal to me. Throughout all this cancer bollox the treatment has been amazing but what's made such a difference is the support I've had from everyone...so, again, THANK YOU

    Rebecca, firstly i will say how inspiring you are and how its great to hear that everything is going well and secondly i can only repeat that only you will know when you are ready. However as you know, camming is only partly about looks and imho mostly about personality and you have that in abbundance. You also have regs that im sure will give you plenty of moral support and help you ease back into it gently. You will however get the tards, this will not be a reflection on you, it is basically because they have an affliction, please remember they dont have an ounce of the courage that you have and never will. So when your ready.....
    kick ass attitude...... check
    lippy ....... check
    a big smile ...... check
    turn that cam on
    and celebrate x

    Blimey...I checked out clips4sale but as I'm in the UK the fees are too great. Clips4sale charge $45 per wire transfer and my bank will charge for the currency conversion.

    But thank you for that suggestion, ladies. I'm selling on Adultwork but a larger market would be nice.

    As an update, I'm due to start my next round of treatment within a couple of weeks and more surgery is still on schedule for March/April

    For c4s you can be paid by cheque, which is free, apart from bank fees (was costing me £7 per cheque). I'm with DP so I'm now able to take advantage of using DP for C4S too, although I've set it to weekly rather than daily.

    For the ladies who asked me to keep you all updated, I'm having my second mastectomy the week after next, with immediate reconstruction. New nipples will constructed in six to eight months. I have just posted a photo on my blog showing how my new breast looks now, nineteen weeks after surgery.
