((((((notsohot))))))) I am so sorry for your struggle. You have some good advice here. You are going to get through this one day at a time. Make sure you get good support from others that have gone through this as well, you are definitely not alone.

((((((WikidPissah))))))) I am so sorry, you too? Oh may you find strength and be well. Maybe at some point you can get reconstructive surgery. My cousin has a hospital down south where he is reconstructing women's breasts. They can do so much now.

((((((farmergirl)))) you are such a survivor you have had may struggles. You are inspiring.

((((( Ihadnoidea))))) very good advice.

I went through a life saving surgery as well and I have a long scar from just below my rib cage all the way down. It took me a long time to look at this terrible intrusion on my body and my stomach used to be my favorite part. I guess I have to be thankful I am even here. And the truth is you can still be a beautiful person in spite of scars.
I just choose not to look at it. I just look at my eyes and my face and other things that are still me.

Lot of hugs
