I too am a female that was born with Poland syndrome! I have 2 breasts but am pretty concave on my left side (missing side) the doctors aren't sure what the breast tissue has attached it self too but we aren't complaining! I also have an extra rib or two, and my spine is fused- only 6 vertebrae but it makes things interesting none the less. These are all related as Poland syndrome is kind of a catch all for various deformities. I'm very athletic and active so I definitely feel the lack of strength in my left side but have never let it stop me! So awesome to meet someone else that understands!

Totally! Your awesome for being such a strong woman! When they diagnosed me at around age 7 the nurse (total bitch) looked at my mom and said "well she'll never wear an evening gown". When I was a Frosh in highschool I went to my first dance and damned if I didn't wear an evening gown!
