Why - "I became the first and only person in history to bare their double mastectomy scars on the cover of a magazine. I was so happy that I was brave enough to push past the pink and allow people to see the person, the pain, and the purpose." - Maxine D. https://advancedbreastcancer.net/living/why
Body Image and Unfair Expectations - "...at first, the shock of seeing their scars and their chest with out any fullness and nipples, was almost too much to bear." - Kaye W. https://advancedbreastcancer.net/living/unfair-body-expectations
