How horrible it must be to have been needlessly mutilated. I hope she wins.

I hope she wins, too...but we breast cancer survivors don't look on ourselves as "mutilated."

No disprespect intended here and I can understand your attitude and applaud it with you being a breast cancer survivor, but this woman is NOT a breast cancer survivor, she is a woman who WAS multilated because her breast were removed needlessly and I am sure she feels multilated and a horror that is beyond description.

It is one thing to do what has to be done to survive, another to have body parts removed simply because some dumb a** made a mistake.

I also intended no disrespect. I don’t view breast cancer survivors a having been mutilated, because they had to have a mastectomy to survive. This lady, however, has been mutilated, in that a normal and healthy part of her body has been cut away.
