Yeah, me too but nerves in my case! (1st check up tomorrow) right, pep talk coming.....
Buy that short skirt and the loveliesty highest shoes you can find and get dressed up and go out in them and be proud!!!!
I have a big scar on my knee (not cancer related) and worried at first that people would notice or care and you know they don't notice and didn't care... I learned that what I thought was really ugly, no one else bothered about and I don't even think about it now. I know it is hard, I now am trying to get used to going out with a colostomy bag and thinking people will notice...but I know they won't bother.
maybe go out with a friend for support? and dare... !
Hello Michalasooty. Afraid I can beat you on the surgical scars ! I have an ear to ear scar at the front of my neck from a neck dissection - I had a floor of mouth cancer removed - my left forearm has two scars from where a piece of tissue was taken to replace the missing floor of mouth and another where the skin graft was taken to patch up the tissue bit ! Oh, plus a round scar on my throat where the tracheostomy breathing tube was situated. But I have now got used to my scars and in a way they are my ' badges ' of survival. Go and buy those lovely shoes and short skirt - flaunt it ! Love, Joycee xx
hi michala....Us girls love a bit of retail therapy,and going out and treating yourself to the heels & skirt you want,is a great way to lift your mood....You go girl!
It's still early days for you Sooty, I'm not suggesting that your scar will ever be invisible, but give it a year and it'll be barely noticeable. [Edited by admin]
