Reconstruction surgery day! ✨ Today feels like a fresh start toward becoming more like myself again. I’m overwhelmed with emotions... I can’t wait to feel the relief from getting these uncomfortable expanders out, but I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t come with insecurity too. Even though I’m getting implants the same size as my natural boobs were before, it’s still not the same. Losing my natural self hasn’t been easy, and I know these new changes may look more obvious than before. It’s hard not to overthink how others might see me… but the mind is funny like that, because why should I even care? But these scars and these implants don’t just tell a story of loss, they tell a story of survival. They’re a reminder that I fought, I endured, and I’m still here. So while I may look a little different than before, I’m moving forward with gratitude, strength, and hope for everything that lies ahead, and for continued healing as I pray that treatment keeps the cancer away 💕 #fuckcancer #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness
