One week and counting till my surgery day. I took a big step outside my comfort zone and had some pictures taken by a photographer I know who has taken photographs of women before having a mastectomy. I've been documenting my experience thus far and wanted a professional to capture the emotional journey I am embarking on. And I wanted a memento, a record of what I was, before...
It was a truly liberating experience and I am grateful to my sister who mentioned it shortly after my diagnosis. I got the chance to don my pink wig, act silly, laugh, express my deep sadness and the overwhelming love I have for my family and friends. Many of the pictures are just for me but I will share some once I get them back in the next few weeks.
I'll be seeing the anesthesiologist early tomorrow so goodnight for now...sweet dreams.
