Cancer stole my self love :(
Hi Ladies,
hoping for some help.
I was diagnosed in Feb with Stage 2B invasive BC and since then I've had a double mastectomy and have just finished my 6th and final round of TAC Chemotherapy.

No, you are not alone. You are young and beautiful, and it's hard to lose the mirror image that you are so used to seeing, but you have to remember that it's temporary, and it is in exchange for your life. You have a loving and supportive partner which is invaluable, and the rest will come back slowly but surely. In the meantime you might be surprised how many people love you for yourself however you look.
Put on the eyelashes and hair for your wedding photos, and be proud of how far you have come. You are a warrior. Sending you a big hug.
