Don't judge me before you read this...
I wanted this to be
done as tastefully as possible. These are two pictures of my
breasts. However, they will not look like this for very much
longer. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. (Stage
3) I am 29 years old and I have two children that I am raising on
my own. My husband died of a heart attack less than eight months
ago. He was only 38. We have had a rough year. I some
days think that this is my bodies way of dying of a broken heart.
I love my husband.
With no immediate family left on this earth to help me out I am turning to the world.
I have a lot to
accomplish in the next couple of months. I am trying to find
someone qualified enough to care for my two kids ages four and
one. They are my life. I have no plans on losing this
battle. I am a stubborn and strong willed person. However,
I will not feel so invincible during chemotherapy. Therefore I
will need help caring for my kids. That takes money which I don't
have.
I have no health
insurance. That is going to be a bit of an obstacle but probably
the least of my problems. The only income we have is from the two
jobs that I have now. I get to take the kids with me while I earn
money and that has been a blessing. I clean houses and do lawn
work.
I do not own very
much. I have a car. I have a small apartment. And I
live in a very small town which my husband and I moved to about a year
and a half ago. I am a very private person. I don't have a
social life because my husband was my best friend and our kids were our
dream. Not having a social life outside of our close
knit family was okay with my and I never thought twice about
it.
I was going to my
yearly exam when they found four lumps. Two in each breast
found close to the armpit area. I thought they were
just cysts. Especially because of my age. I am
learning however that breast cancer doesn't discriminate. Man,
Woman...Black, White...Big ones small ones....it just doesn't
matter.
I am looking at these
pictures and I really do like my breasts. I will be very sad
to lose this part of me. I will not be able to afford a
reconstruction or a "cool tattoo" at this time. I am still
wondering things like...do I still wear a bra...will I weigh less
than before? Stupid things to think about a suppose but thinking
is all I seem to do lately.
I wish my husband
were here. I think about him a lot these days. I think
about how crazy he would think I am for putting something like this on
display.
I just want to say that
I think this is one of my best photos ever taken. Especially that
I took this myself...I just couldn't bare it all to some stranger
in a studio. I could probably have afforded Wal-mart
studios. I laugh when I picture the look on their faces.
They would probably expect some runny-nosed kids and instead
....well...invision your own thought.
Anyway...this is my
creative attempt to pay my doctors and my bills and ensure my kids will
be taken care of. I will be donating a portion of my proceeds to
breast cancer research.
So lets see if we can make my breasts the most expensive breasts ever sold on ebay!!! :)
You will be bidding on
an UNCENSORED version of both of these images...unless you like the
censored ones better. I didn't think I could put the real thing
on ebay without getting in trouble. If you would like to see the
uncensored versions before you bid...just email me and I will send you
a copy.
It will be nice to know
that someone out there will be able to admire them as well as me.
I really do think I am losing one of my more favorable features.
You will receive a framed and titled photograph of both images...and my life long thanks and gratitude.
Thank you for looking at my auction.
I appreciate even this chance I have had to "vent" a little.
And if you not a bidder and your just a reader...that is just fine by me...just say a little prayer instead.
Thank you again and godbless.
