How Do You Do That

Hi Everyone 

As you know I lost half of my right breast to Cancer 3 years ago.  Well tomorrow I will lose the rest of my breast tissue both side.  By the end of tomorrow I will have had a double mastectomy and reconstruction.  While this is reconstruction, I will have shape - no implants - using my own body tissue to recreate shape.  What I do have to do is to say good bye to my nipples.  Yes that's what I said.  

Yes it sounds a like silly but I m trying to honour myself and at the same recognize my body will never be the same.  

So many people have said well at least it's not a vital part of your body, I usually ask them if they would mind giving up the testicles.  Yup they are quite after that.  I know it is not a vital part and for the most part I am just fine with everything and this is a step forward, and fingers crossed next week I am cancer free and healing just fine. 

I will take a shower before the hospital and soap them up for the last time.  So when you take your shower tomorrow do me a favour - honour yourself and checking yourself.  Then hopefully you will never have to say good bye to your nipples. Take care, and I will update you when I get home in a week or so.

Todays question "How would you say good bye to your nipples?"


I WILL FIGHT FOR ME
