My breasts are about the only part of my body that I love, unequivocally. They’re small and pert and silky smooth. They’re perfect (except one of them is streaked yellow and green with bruises at the moment from the biopsy).
My nose is too big and my thighs are too wobbly and my legs too short and my hips too wide. Why can’t those be the bits that need surgery and reconstruction and hacking away at
Grr.
Hug (gentle)
Nothing else to say really… it sucks but you’ll get through it
Judes I felt exactly the same … my boobs were the best bit of me… and I was the fittest, slimmest, healthiest I’d ever been … what a bummer! But chemo is over for me now, and although I’ve got five years of Tamoxifen and reconstruction . I am trying to get the body I had back (albeit minus one breast). You can do it … your personality is whats important to people not your boobs … and you’ll gain confidence in other ways … not through your body image. x
I too have bemoaned this, of all the bits of my body I would not be wanting to show to one man and his dog it would be my post breast feeding three kids teeny tiny chest.
