Final Update - Relieved. - Auburn, IL

Hello Ladies, and Angie! I thought I'd send some encouragement for the women on their journeys today. Go for it. :) It's the best decision I ever made.
I love how natural feels, and looks. I'm still very noticeably 'deformed' on the left breast but, who's looking? lol.
99% of my pains, and tiredness are still gone. The only causes of them now are identifiable illnesses. I would encourage anyone considering removal to forge ahead and believe in yourself. It's really a life changing decision. In a GOOD way.
For RS and my fellow group who may still peek in here, They found 2 more tumors early this year. One on my liver, and one on my bladder. I will not go through any more surgery. I refuse. My wonderful Hubby has quit his job and takes wonderful care of me. Our life is whole and blessed with each other.
Courage my dear ladies. Stay strong and confident in your judgement in what is best for You. This Forum is powerful in helping us cope in those moments we feel alone. God Bless RS. xo

Well ladies, RealSelf, it's been a journey.

I'm starting to feel 'normal'. Whatever that means. My scars are finally healing nicely. I'm treading everyday 3-5 miles and feeling healthier every morning.

I love being implant free. I love going out in public now. Feel no embarrassment. I can wear real clothes, that fit. And there's a king bed in our house that I sleep in now. :) Jammie free. :)

Oh, and isn't hugging just the best thing in the world now!

Thank you so much for all your support here. I really think I'd have lost my mind without having all these journeys to share and learn from.

Bless - us - all ! xoxo - And the best of luck to all the ladies now, and in the future traveling this road.
