Hi @minnymum78
Thank you for sharing, I think this is a great discussion topic that many can relate to. I also just saw this article about an exhibit in Madrid that shines a light on breast cancer scars. It must be hard to adjust to the sight of a new body. I'll tag a few others to see if they have personal experiences they want to share.

Do you have scarring from an operation? How long did it take you to adjust to the scars? Do you think we society should be trying harder to normalize scars, like in the art exhibition?
Share your thoughts!
Take care,

Hi Everyone
I had my ovaries removed and hysterectomy in August 2019, the recovery for me was long, I had a lot of pain afterwards. Now that has cleared up, but one thing I did not count on was the scarring. It never goes away and is so ugly. What do you guys do to make it go away? Or at least feel better about it?
Thanks
