Here's an URL (http://www.thecenturyproject.com/) you may want to check out, if you are interested in how some women cope with their sense of lopsidedness after surgery.

I know it has been an issue for some, myself included. We have only so many choices to address the loss of this body part: one of them is to readjust our mindsets. I am not saying I don't hate this state of affairs - far from it. But I am not happy about the thought of going through the rest of life ashamed of how I look. Right now, it's hard not to be - I am three years out, and I still avoid looking at myself or revealing to others the outcome of my treatment.

I hope we find a new way to deal with breast cancer that doesn't damage the souls and spirits of women in the future. It's hard enough having cancer. The effects of having a mastectomy (or two) are insults to an already compounded injury....
