Within this issue you’ll see all sorts of scars and read all sorts of body-based stories from lumpectomies to mastectomies to implants to explants to living flat on one side to living flat all the way across. There is no one way to do breast cancer, and similarly there is no one way to do breast surgery – and as you’ll discover here, there is also no reason to live with results that aren’t entirely to your liking either. That’s the real magic of finding your tribe: as you read this issue, you might find yourself thinking, “I didn’t know that was possible!” or “She looks like me!”
