    Embrace your scars. Do I like how I look after a mastectomy and chest wall reconstruction after removing some ribs and rebuilding my sternum? No I do not but they are my battle scars that show how much i fought to be here. Try to focus on what is important. I am sorry you are having trouble accepting your new look. I know its hard. I never had a perfect one but i still embrace my scars they are part of who i am and how i got to be here. Live life to the fullest and remember your here and a survivor!

    Perhaps get a 2nd opinion from a breast reconstruction surgeon. See what can be done to make it better. I've read you want a good one in addition to the oncology surgeon.
