My mom is 58 and is getting a mastectomy and tram flap reconstruction in 5 weeks (she just got done with a year of chemotherapy).  The Saturday before the surgery I want to throw a Boob Voyage party to get her laughing and thinking positively.  Can you please share any ideas you have?  If you have been to one before can you tell me how it was conducted?

I figured I could have a word scramble with alternative names for breasts (ie boobs, fun bags, the girls).  If you know any other names, please share!

I've also read about "pin the bra on the lingerie model."

I've looked online and there don't seem to be many resources for this type of party so any ideas you'd like to share would be truly appreciated.

    Ah, you may want to rethink this idea. 

     I didn't have a year of chemo to get used to the amputation of my breast,and a long surgery for reconstruction, but I would not have appreciated a Boob party the night before.  Maybe that's just me, or maybe that's why you've not found a lot on the internet about it????

    Personally, my husband and I went out for his first sushi, and both got diarrhea, I stayed up all night walking around the motel, even after xanax and sleeping pills.  

    Some women here have taken pics of their boobs, had molds made of them before they go, I had my husband kiss mine good by. 

    Maybe your mom is a lady who would enjoy and appreciate this party, and if so, why not involve her, and let her be a part of the planning and fun parts so she won't be suprised.  It's not always a good thing, ya know?

    Exactly.  Although laughter is good for the soul, make sure your MOM wants the party...and make sure everyone else is comfortable with it too.

    Personally, I would have loved it.  But after the word scramble game- then what..It's a great idea, let us know how it worked out.  I don't know anyone on these boards or elsewhere that had such a party...
