Thanks Paula for posting. I have only just seen it so can't quite articulate totally how it made me feel. Initially I was struck by the beauty of the photography then angry that breast cancer is not pink and fluffy but cruel and hard and robs women of their lives. Somehow seeing young women is even more difficult, perhaps because it hits maternal instincts. I also have not had reconstruction. I haven't ruled it out but am not sure it's that important to me or on a cowardly note not sure I want any more surgery and drains and pain!
