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.
