We can still drive and shop and love and cook and smile and work and dance (well, if you could BEforE)and sing. Loudly. In tune or not. We are NOT damaged good..but "As is" and that's just fine with me. I've not lost a job or a friend or a husband or a chance at life because I have 2 scars (that don't even match, for Pete's sake) and no breasts. The breasts just covered up my heart..and now it's so much closer to the surface! I find I'm using it, expanding it and feeling it filling with love..so just wait.. This is not the second act...but a new beginning...<br /><br />be brave! be bra-less!

I worked in a Plastic & Reconstructive surgery unit for 7 years. I worked with the women who bore the scars. The tears, the fears and the agony of "thinking" they would no longer be attractive, no longer be a woman, no longer be whole. They are feelings...not good, not bad...just feelings. They belong to you...<br />Take a deep breathe girl cuz you have a lot of good living ahead of you.
