I am 30yrs old, breast cancer survior. I had a doulbe mast. with reconstruction. It has been 6 months cancer free. Everytime I look at my breast they look and feel different. It really sucks. I am now in the process of tring to find funding to get them repaired because I do not have health insurance and this time everything is out of pocket. So untill I can get the money together I have to be unhappy with what I have. Sounds stupid but I am very upset with CANCER!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-53460645464678913872008-08-24T08:25:00.000-07:002008-08-24T08:25:00.000-07:00Kate:What you wrote make perfect sense to me.

Its so hard to put into words but I think when you've been there it makes sense. <BR/><BR/>I am very protective/sensitive of my cancer! Its hard to put into words but there is a definite feeling.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I wrote something that reached you and I hope I continue to.

I dont have these tattoos, but I do have a really large scar on my left elbow where they removed the tumor and a whole bunch of skin and muscle. Everyone says "you can hardly notice it", but I do, I notice my 'zipper' as I call it every single day. I notice the scar in my armpit where they took the lymphnodes from, and i cant help but stare at the 4 small holes in my shoulder from the last surgery I had to correct nerve damage from the cancer everytime i look in the mirror. So...when someone says "You cant even notice those.",somehow it doesnt help, it just makes me feel worse because, those are my scars, they are the proof for me that I beat it, that it didnt get me. I dont know, maybe this doesnt make sense, but I feel better for reading your story and telling you mine. Keep it up, KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-44201684837947107632008-08-20T19:04:00.000-07:002008-08-20T19:04:00.000-07:00Warriors have always had to carry battle scars.Warriors have always had to carry battle scars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-86392014589204346652008-08-20T15:22:00.000-07:002008-08-20T15:22:00.000-07:00this does need to be talked about.. long after the...this does need to be talked about.. long after the teatments have ended i still daily pain from this terible diseasepattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325528875073831141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689735678964373295.post-10517562306009279632008-08-19T17:15:00.000-07:002008-08-19T17:15:00.000-07:00I have my 'special tattoos' also.
