Oh Latrice, never be embarrassed or ashamed of your scars! Honestly they are signs of your strength and struggle, wear them proudly. Any man who is worth it will think exactly the same. I think my husband likes my new boobs better than the old ones, and I’m fairly sure he doesn’t see the scars or fake nipples at all!

I had DCIS and IDC. I was diagnosed January 21, 2020. I had two stereotactic biopsies and two MRI ‘s before surgery was decided 3/27/2020. My disappointment and anger came from the fact that the only part of my body. Which I considered beautiful had to be scarred. I would have preferred uterine cancer. Like my mom. After all I shall never have babies. Due to the rage of the novel Coronavirus. Surgery was pushed back to May 15, 2020. I got to the hospital 6AM. My surgery was 8AM. After more pictures and needles. I met the anesthesia doctor and fell asleep. I woke up with my headache from hunger and appreciation for life. They said I would get a meal. Does two slices of cake and coffee count? My mom and sister got me at 2PM. I loved my staff. I wish that I could have stayed overnight. Though extremely tired. I only slept 5 hours in total overnight. The pain was minimal at first. But did only a slight crescendo that the drug could not numb. I did cry over my scars and I guess that I always shall cry. I believe that I shall be embarrassed to marry now. One friend called me while on my way home. I felt so blessed for a moment. I thought that I would have more moral support from my religious family. In the end it was and always is my blood family. Only 3 of my religious family checked on me regularly. It has been a little harder than I imagined. Only because my necessary surgery has interfered with my ability to make money. The health food so I shall stop complaining.
