I just had a lump removed from my areola. I am on LJ in an attempt to distract myself scratching the stitches. I am only 29 but my Mum died of breast cancer when i was 15, so I figure a scar is a small price to pay. I dont get the pathology back til next week, but better out than in right? I figure, this new scar just adds to to patchwork i already have, they are all stories. Some mark the trauma that was my birth (i was cut during my emergency C-section birth), some mark interventions that saved my life as an adult and one marks a spot where another 9 year old got a little pissed that i got the last chair in musical chairs and took a swing at my face. I wouldnt erase any of them. hope your little surgery goes well and you gets lots of love and good care xx
