My name is Tonya Thomas, and in February 2019, I was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 3 breast cancer.
I completed 16 rounds of chemotherapy over a 5 month period.
On Tuesday, August 27th, 2019, I underwent a double mastectomy. I wasn't sure how I would feel after the surgery.
Would I feel devastated, angry, sad, or less than a woman?
Would I feel less than a whole person?
Surprisingly, I didn't feel any of the things listed above. I feel free. I feel free to welcome this new version of me, and I love her even more.
SHE IS STRONG!
SHE IS AMAZING!
SHE IS ME!
Thank you for sharing your story, Tonya. SBC loves you!
