I am so freaking elated! My Breast Surgeon Oncologist says that she wants me to work closely with one of her staff members to provide products and information for her patients who are struggling with intimacy during their journey. She is so excited to support me now that I am no longer under PR. She also told me she wants me to be a part of a huge cancer symposium since my new products have all the clinical data to back them! This is incredible! 😍
I am also extra elated that I am now on the 6 month schedule because everything is finally getting better. All of my scans and tests are where they want them right now. I am still spitting stitches, but no longer in pain. I am much better physically. I did have to fill out a distress screening form before my appointment which was very eye-opening for me. I checked off lots of boxes in the physical concerns and emotional concerns sections, and some boxes in the social concerns, and none in the practical concerns. I knew I was struggling emotionally and mentally with everything, but didn't realize how bad. I also didn't realize how much I was still struggling with my physical appearance since my surgery. I got very emotional talking about this with her. I even started to cry during my appointment because this whole thing has kicked my a$$! I don't know if I will ever be okay with my physical appearance again. It's strange and new territory for me because I have always been very confident in this area no matter how thick or thin I ever was. Now that I have been cut up and my body completely altered, I struggle tremendously. I realized that I rarely look in the mirror anymore and I rarely take pictures now. This has been so hard! I am very grateful that I am alive and that I am healing, but it doesn't make the struggle any easier!
In a nutshell, so many opportunities are rapidly coming my way now that I am my own LLC and I am extremely grateful so keep pimp-ing me out. I am still struggling emotionally and mentally, but happy that my scans are clean! ❤️
P.S. If only life was as simple as it was when I designed and sewed this dress out of a lady's pant leg in my Nanny's sewing room. My grandma was so shocked because...
