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
