Description
This is a freind of mine whom had a lumpectomy in her left breast a few years ago. Her cancer is in remission now.Β Her goal was to let people know that no matter the changes to your body, you never stop being proud of what and who you are. We talked about doing a photo that showcased the changes cuased by her surgery and this is the result we hit on.Related content

Well said.
My cousins daughter was only 21 when she was diagnosed, and had both breasts removed. She was diagnosed early because my cousin also had the same condition. Both are now in remission, thankfully. Plus my cousins daughter has had two miracle babies since.....

Inspiring, powerful and touching.
Although the topic isn't beautiful, the bravery of your friend is. Indeed.

Powerful. The strength people hold after events like this tends to make the person more beautiful than they could be with looks. Strength can go a long way, farther than your looks can.

This is a beautiful, amazing, and inspiring piece of photography. Β Thank you for sharing with us, and thank your friend for being brave enough to share as well.

I don't dare to say beautiful, because it isn't. Cancer and it's scars is never beautiful. But the picture is well done and encouraging!
Thank you for taking a picture with such a deep meaning. And also thanks for your friend, who shared a small part of her story with us.

Cancer has taken the lives of those I hold most dear to my heart. My mother, an aunt, my maternal grandmother, two of my wife's uncles and an aunt, and her maternal grandmother. It has threatened the lives of my mother-in-law, my wife, both of my sisters, my great uncle, all of my wife's sisters but one, and well, the list goes on.
To say this image strikes an emotional cord with me is a bit of an understatement. Tell your friend that I admire her courage and fortitude, and I hope for a long and healthy life for her.

Courageous and heartening.
I can see this being a great way to give people hope.

absolutely amazing! I think scars, damages, losses etc. make people even more beautiful, more real and build personalities that can see and understand more, encourage and support others with their experience and strength.
Thank you for letting me see this.

Well then, I didn't expect to see an artistic nude that was actually artistic hit my front page.

Scars are war badges sown into the flesh,
and it sounds like she won.
Congragulations to her, and a aplause to both of you.
This is a absalotely gorgeous shot, and a even more beautiful model.

Very touching shot. Our Mothers, Wife's, Sisters and even or Brothers somehow we must find the cure.

People recoil so often from women they deem imperfect, but to me this is a story of pure strength. Β My best friend's mom died of breast cancer, it hits home in a powerful way. Β I also a bit disgusted by how many people couldn't be bothered to read the artist comment before asking ignorant questions ugh. Β

This is really important.Β Don't ever hesitate to do things like this, or to help people be brave.

there is so much power and strength in this picture you and the model worked well together to get that across, thank you and thank her for being so strong.

Was it abuse? My first thought was cancer, but I didn't think surgeons left you disfigured if they could help it. Wouldn't they have performed corrective surgery to make it look normal?

They only preform any kind of re constructive surgery if the person asks that it be preformed, and it's usually after
the healing of the initial surgery has be done. At least that's how it was for my aunt, I'm assuming it may be different
in other countries

Thank you everyone. I am honored by the compliments. My friend is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, she was just blown away. Your positvie comments have made a difference in her life.

She is more of a person though there may be less of her. Please thank your friend for her bravery, congratulate her on her victory, and reassure her of her beauty for us.
