Reconstruction

I haven't felt a "loss" at losing my breasts but lately I've had a hard time appreciating my body.  It has been very difficult trying to get dressed some days, especially this past weekend.  Brian and I had somewhere to go, and I wanted to look good.  So far a lot of what I've worn I would just consider "okay".  I've warn a lot of T-Shirts and button up cotton shirts but found it very frustrating to pull things out of my walk in closet FULL of clothes and not feeling like I had many options.  Most of what I have either wasn't flattering to my new body, or was not easily worn with the sports bras that I've currently been wearing.

Surprisingly enough, today's fill gave me a huge boost.  Literally and figuratively :)  I am starting to see shape and size to my new chest.  For the first time since this process started I finally feel like others can now see me taking shape.  I finally don't feel so self conscious about my chest.

I finally have made appointments with 2 different oncologists.  I will be meeting with someone at the Zangmeister Group as well as someone at the James next week.  More updates to follow when I have met with these doctors.

  1. Just for the record, it's ok not to appreciate your body...that's Brian's job anyway! :)
