Cheryl - I think we may have to agree to disagree on that. I haven't been in that situation personally, but I believe that the loss of a breast could be devastating. Having reconstructive surgery can make a woman feel "whole" again after so much mental, physical and spiritual trauma. I know women who have made both choices, reconstruction or no reconstruction, and they probably wouldn't want to be judged about either choice.

I found a lot of them that had reconstruction did it because, they said, they wouldn't feel like a woman.. I say having breasts is not what makes women feel like a woman.. they just are. it also comes from a lack of loving themselves before hearing that news. It's a stage in life I guess. it's all good no matter which way a person goes as you said, but a lot of it is vanity and lack of love for themselves as they are.. Just explaining how I've been in the environment and I've heard the stories.

Thank y'all for getting what I was "trying" to say. I am so terrible at explaining.
LOVE that quote!! Somebody said he was awe inspiring in that new Mary Poppins movie by how he could still move. I haven't seen it, but they made me want to!

With regard to body kindness, it would be so nice if we didn't pass judgment on each other's choices. Thanks! |
