I have to thank Gillyone for posting this link in the Pinktober thread.  I took a moment to look at this site and have to say it touched my soul.  What BEAUTIFUL women---all just like us.  And I LOVE that the photographer does it in black and white---not a stitch of pink anywhere.  I do warn you the images are very graphic and might be upsetting to see, so please, if you are hurting right now because of your own situation do not visit this site at this point.

What an incredible show.  I just wish it would visit DC..............

Take care,

Sharon

    Hi. pupfoster1. yes I have seen his pictures. Very BEAUTIFUL  women.  I agree just like us.  I sometimes feel sad about the loss of my breast  but I also feel that it does not take away our beauty as a woman.  SharonH

    Hi Sharon,

    I am still coming to grips with my "new" look.  Actually they aren't so bad anymore, but obviously not the same and will never be "normal" again.  My poor husband still doesn't really want to look at them yet.  He was a boob man before and I know this has been hard on him too.  I'm about a large C now which before I was a DD.  

    Take care,

    The "other" SharonSmile

    Thank you for giving this link its own thread.  I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.  I agree, beautiful women.  

     But damn, don't we take a big hit.  

    I have been thinking a lot about my own scars recently.  How you can't look at a scar and know what it feels like.  I look pretty much the same side to side.  Flat.  The radiation tan isn't very dark. There's no way to know just looking how ripped-up the side that had the AND and radiation feels.

    what a moving collection of photos.  All these women are incredibly beautiful.  It's hard to look at yourself that way when all you see are your own scars.  Makes you stop and think.. hmm... maybe i'm beautiful too....  thanks for posting.

    I found this so beautiful and touching.

    Although it helped me cry I think this is a positive crying because I so much want to love myself for how I look now, scarred, hair just growing back on my head, no lashes or eyebrows.  I want to go beyond how I look and feel good about myself again.

    The pictures empowered me and perhaps I can begin taking better care of myself again.  Respecting my new body for what is as rather than what it used to be.

    Bless our courage and stamina to move forward.
