You have great interviews! This was such a sweet story. I especially loved the part about being loved no matter what. A lot of things in Sue’s story hit home. While my dad never drank or looked at porn he did talk a lot about women’s appearance. Mostly in a negative way (she has no boobs, Ah this cellulite, women look bad without make-up etc.) It definitely damaged me and my two sisters. I told him once and he feels terrible. It is so easy to influence children…
Like in Sue’s story, my husband has helped me a great deal in this regard! I remember the first time I wanted to show him what I look like without make-up. I knocked on his door (his office), but did not want to enter when he called me in. He finally came to open the door and I would just stare on the floor. He got worried and asked me what is wrong. I looked him in the face and imagines he would start screaming and run away. He did not even notice… He kept asking me what is going on and I finally told him that I am not wearing Make-up. He could not have cared less…that was such an eye opener.

Thanks again for sharing the story! Sue you are truly an inspiration!!!

Thanks for much for sharing Sue’s story with us!

It’s so refreshing to hear the story and journey of a breast cancer survivor.

As women we must be proactive towards early detection, Sue’s story only emphasizes this.

Last week marked the fifth anniversary of my mother’s death. She died of breast cancer at 52, only 9 months after her diagnosis.

She never had a mammogram; if she had it may have saved her life.

Sue I found this part so touching:

“I saw in a very deep and personal way that I was loved for ME (the true â€œessenceâ€ of who I wasâ€¦.not defined by body mass or tissue amount or lack thereof). I had known this intellectually, but the stark reality of my body changes, and my husbandâ€™s loving acceptance, brought it home in such a deep, emotionally penetrating way.

My husband loved me through every phase.”

That is true love, so touching!
