Hey socials! 👋🏻
I know, I know, it's been a while 😬
Everything has been so overwhelming these past few months, and I've gotta say, I still haven't bounced back. Nothing could have ever prepared me for how much heartache a double mastectomy would cause or how low my mental health, self-worth, and confidence have become 🥺
I've had people tell me, "You are more than just your b***s," but those who knew me before this knew how much I loved them. I had nicknames through high school relating to them. They were fun, and goodness knows I could get the attention I wanted with them. But they were more than that. I gave my babies life with them, feeding both until they were 4 years old, a total of 6 years and 4 months. I donated litres and litres of breastmilk to about a dozen families, some multiple times. I even wet nursed a niece and a nephew. And now, they're just gone. I can't tell you how many times I've cried before or after the 7th of April, but I still haven't recovered mentally. These photos are raw, they're real, but they're not even the worst that I've got.
Let this be your reminder. Ladies, check your bo***es. Men, check your chests. Check your lovers, get changes looked at, speak to your doctor, get the scans, don't put mammograms off, and look for signs of changes in the mirror regularly. One little scan saved my life. ❤️🩹
