I had my second tattooing on March 3rd, 2009. It's hard to believe but I think I've completed my reconstruction phase and I'm "put back together." I started this journey back on January 2, 2006 when I was wheeled into the operating room to get my first mastectomy. It has been three years and it was three years of pain, joy, and growth.
My spring break of March 2006 was when I lost of first expander. I remember that week so vividly because it was one of my worst spring break ever. I was not able to move forth with any more surgeries until May of 2008. March of 2009 and I'm done! It's a sense of relief for me but it's also a weird feeling since I've felt like I've been under reconstruction for such a long time now!
I recently attended the YSC event last month in Dallas. There are many interesting news and research out there. I promise to post soon.

"Flower Power"
I just finished my art bra. I've named it "Flower Power" because breasts are very much a feminine quality of a woman. The flowers represent that femininity and the power represents how cancer makes a woman so much stronger. I used charms, beads, pompoms and fabric to create my art bra. I've made this in honor of all my amazingly strong Pink Ribbon Cowgirls!
