Demystifying.<BR/><BR/>I know it's not easy to share these specifics - I have similar discomfort when writing about the surgical construction of my replacement nipples after my mastectomy. But I think that there are people out there who need to know what it is like to go through what we have been through. So they better understand us, or other people in their lives who might be going through these cancer treatments.<BR/><BR/>So, as difficult as it may have been for you to blog about this, I thank you for doing it.<BR/><BR/>Maria BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
