There is a mourning of a loss that I recognize, as well as a rebuilding. I am trying hard to recognize the pain and move through it.
It’s ok to be truthful about how you feel.
My post-cancer body is a work in progress, both physically and mentally. I would even go so far as to say that the battle is more mentally.
How do you prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for losing your breasts, how do you say goodbye to your boobs?
Like all great stories, my body has taught me many lessons. Lessons of love, of gratitude, of grace and patience.
I put out an APB for my Sexy, unsure if it could actually be brought back but I was willing to do the work to get it back.
I know that beauty is skin deep, but my spirit took a hard hit and we are only beginning to rediscover the feminine goddess within.
I used to not want to take pictures from the chest down because of how I felt I looked. Now that I am two years out, it has gotten a lot better.
Flaw + Awesomeness = FlawSomeness a great combination of words that has allowed me to embrace my keloid scar as being a part of what I call my Shade of Pink Story.
