I was diagnosed in 2004 at the age of 37 with breast cancer, I had to have a right sided mastectomy and I chose to have reconstructive surgery, after many operations and a long road both physically and mentally this is me now, I never thought I'd look like I do now and it is thanks to NHS Grampian Breast Team and the Plastic Surgery Team that I do. I also thought I'd never feel like the old me again, as being told I had cancer and having to have such a visible womanly part removed was devastating. I'm sharing my story to hopefully help other women see that you can still look good after it and no one would know.
