I took this picture the day before I was diagnosed. Smiling after having a small surgery and thinking I was going to start getting better. Oddly enough I didn't cry when I was told I had cancer but I cried when I had a clump of hair come out in my hand. #mybodytude #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #bodyimage #bodypositivity #ayacsm #bcsm #bodypositive


This picture was taken about a month ago, at 11 months after diagnosis! I get a lot of compliments from doctors, nurses, and friends about how fast it's growing in. I'm beyond happy it's growing back and with it my confidence grows more and more. Not just because of my hair but because I've adopted #mybodytude of if you don't like me or judge me over something I had no control over then that's your problem. If you want to hear more about my story check out the living beyond breast cancer event on the 14th, where I'll be one of the people speaking! #mybodytude #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #bodyimage #bodypositivity #ayacsm #bcsm #bodypositive
