When it came time to get changed to go out I caught a glimpse in the mirror and in a surreal moment couldn&#39;t work out what was wrong. Then it dawned on me and suddenly no clothes looked or felt right and knowing I was going to be out til late evening, i burst into tears.</p> <p>I went to help my daughter get ready for her prom night , once I saw her all dressed up I calmed down. She looked gorgeous-not that I&#39;m biased!&nbsp; It was a sight for sore eyes seeing all the colours of the dresses and all the girls looking so pretty &nbsp;in the evening sun. Watching them smiling and laughing enjoying their evening, suddenly everything seemed alright again. </p> <p>I suppose it takes time to get used to the change in your appearance after mastectomy, roll on reconstruction in the spring!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=347728&AppID=30914&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
