The bit where it all comes together

If you have any doubts about the value of orange pedagogy, watch this. Here are some oncofruit pointers to give you a head start.

• The latissimus dorsi (LD), the large muscle in the back which in my case became the basis of my reconstructed breast, is represented by the flesh of half an orange.
• The skin (or orange peel) that is to become the new areola is still attached to the LD flap, which has been harvested - cut loose along with the blood vessel - and is ready to be tunnelled under the armpit.
• The skin envelope (empty breast/a.k.a. hollowed-out orange), is filled by the LD flap at which point the new breast, complete with back-skin areola, comes into existence.

Three OMGs from Kate prove it's a revelation.
