That's the spirit honey
I remember oh so well the numbness and feelings when my marriage ended. Maybe that was why I was so much more able to cope when bc came along
I couldn't imagine the pain etc associated with reconstruction. I know I'm lucky to be truly happy in my own skin and I honestly don't miss my boobs at all. Lucky for me I've never shed a year for them. Maybe its because it all happens so fast.
I laugh sometimes at the children I work with. I'm a preschool teacher in a room of 30 3 to 5 year olds who are all fascinated with body parts. They sneak a look down my shirt and say oh where have your boobies gone or show me what's there. I say nothing's there and they say oh yeah your boonies were sick so the doctor cut them off. Such a simple way of looking at it
I was 42 when I lost my boobs and my kids were 23, 19 and 15
A very close friend came to visit me after my masectomy in hospital. She told her 4 year old my boobies were sick and there was no medicine to make them better so the doctor had to cut them off. He sat quietly for a minute then looked at his mum and said " oh no, how is Mel going to feed her babies ?"
We laughed and laughed
