Trying Something New
A blog that specializes in breast cancer stories, Pink Lotus says that trying something new, like a new hairstyle, can help!

Invest in some Lingerie
Lingerie isn’t just for people with perfect bodies – Rihanna showed us that!
Her models have a variety of bodies, some with and without modifications, and they all looked good!
Try looking for brands that promote bodies that may not just be what is defined as “conventional.”

These are just a couple of ways to love your body after a mastectomy.
Remember to have support – lean on your community, and talk to women who understand and can help you through this. You are beautiful, just as you are.
