This is a photo of my mom (on the right) and my cousin Melanie (on the left). Melanie was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer the summer of 2008. She had a double mastectomy in the spring of 2009, and is still going strong. She is an incredible fighter, this girl! The photo was taken a few days after her surgery.
Below, is a photo of knitted breasts for women like Melanie.
