Now, 40 years later, I proudly show my chest to anyone who needs to see it: oncologist, surgeon, nurse. I even show my breasts to perfect strangers. As part of my volunteer duties at our local cancer center, I often meet with women who’ve just been through a mastectomy and reconstruction, or who might be considering it. And if they want to see what a reconstructed breast looks like, I show them. Happily. Amazing what the passage of four decades and a major dose of breast cancer can do for your perspective, isn’t it?
