Hi
I agree whole heartily with previous comments. I have 'a weak stomach' so I was so scared about all the procedures and surgeries and it took awhile for me to look at myself each time....lucky for me my brave daughter and funny boyfriend got me through! I didn't think it would happen but I am quiet proud of the scars (2 little ones which have faded now from 1st surgery in February and the bigger ones from 2nd surgery in May a mastectomy and reconstruction) - naturally I still get angry and sad at times when reminded of the scary times but on the whole I am now fit and well and feel I have grown up finally (I am a young 53!). You will get there too and having this support and connection with others who understand is wonderful. Women affected by BC are the most amazing people I've ever met! Axx
