Most Beautiful Breast in the World!
September 1st, I went for an ultrasound of my liver to see if everything was okay there. "It's just routine," I was told. Yeah, right. For whom was this routine? Not me. That night, on Mastectomy Eve, I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, saying goodbye to my breast. Until that point in time, I always complained it was too small, too droopy, too wide-set from its twin. Suddenly, my left breast was the most beautiful breast in the world. I thanked it for nursing my beautiful babies - it was their favourite side. I said that I'd miss it. I'd miss wearing pretty bras and I'd miss growing old with it. Because the tumour was so large I couldn't even sleep on my tummy without feeling nauseas so I knew it was time for it to go. So I tucked it into its pyjama top and waited for morning.
