28:21Now PlayingWhen Lauren found a lump in her breast, she was flung into a turbulent whirl of surgery and its aftermath.
Compass follows the 37-year-old’s physical and emotional journey as she decides to remove her remaining breast and defy cultural expectations around reconstruction.
Lauren is part of the “Go Flat Movement” which is growing among Australian women either diagnosed with or at risk of breast cancer.
This pathway reimagines femaleness, challenges conventional beauty standards and gives agency to women who are facing one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
