Wondered if anyone felt the same? Body acceptance - I'm still struggling with body acceptance as a result of BC. I'm so grateful to be alive right now but I look at my scars and my body generally and I don't recognise who I am... particularly my big old liver resection scar. I know people will say it's what kept me alive and I should be grateful and I am, I promise! But denying how I feel isn't helping me so I wondered if anyone felt the same? If so how did you come to terms with it? I feel like it's taking over my life and that's so unhealthy. Thank you

Hi Bobbie742466ea and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I can see that you also posted this in the cancer chat group and had a reply from one of my fellow Community Champions recommending this audio book from Macmillan about body image and cancer. I'm including the link here in case anyone else in this group wants to listen to it.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
