@theebooblessbabe: Navigating life after a double mastectomy brings challenges beyond the obvious, ones that don’t get talked about nearly enough. One thing I wasn’t fully prepared for was the numbness—not just across my chest but under my arms too, which is common after a lymphadenectomy (when lymph nodes are removed). Living with this numbness is a constant reminder of the journey I’ve been through. Imagine not being able to feel when something brushes against your skin, or feeling that subtle tug of discomfort with certain movements. It changes how you dress, how you sleep, even how you move. But here’s what I want other women to know: numbness doesn’t define us. It’s a part of the journey, yes, but it’s not the whole story. Just because parts of our body don’t feel the same doesn’t mean we don’t feel deeply, powerfully, and beautifully. There’s strength in embracing every part of this healing process, even the uncomfortable and strange sensations that nobody warns you about. So here’s to every single one of you who feels a little bit different today—physically, mentally, or emotionally. Your journey is powerful, and you’re not alone. #BRCA #breastcancer #aestheticflatclosure #doublemastectomy #mastectomy #bodypositivity #womenempowerment #healthadvocate #flattie #flattiebaddie
