I did! You may not want to compare before and after . . . but life is long. You may think, oh, 15 years from now, you know I wish I had that photo.

Call me crazy, but my husband and I took a photo of me every day after the surgery for weeks, then every fee days for a couple of months.
It was helpful to be able to compare changes in recovery.
Really helped because at one point my breast turned a bit red. I’m 3 1/2 hours from the cancer center, so i send photos through the portal. I could send a photo 2 days before, and then with red. Helpful.
Another time my breast had a little swelling above the nipple sutures - and they could assure me it looked okay.
I realize everybody opening my medical portal could see those photos, but I edited my face out, and i was 68 at the time. Kind of old to care.

We all have different comfort zones! Best wishes as you navigate this!
