"I think that I’m a different person after having breast cancer because I think that
so many things have awoken in me. I feel like you move forward. It’s like, I have
so many strengths now, I feel like I’m more alive now. Waking up and seeing that
my breasts were still there, I feel like it helped emotionally."

"One of the first things that I knew is that I needed to get an immediate
reconstruction if it was at all possible because I knew that that was a very
important part of my healing process. I challenged myself to grow in things that I
had not wanted to grow in before."

"After looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing someone totally new, the
process is very nice, the expectations of what you’re hoping for, what will happen
to you. We, women, have to love ourselves, most of all. Keep moving forward. "

"The most important thing for me, I feel, is my mind. I sometimes suffer from
depression, and everyone gets sad. We have to go on fighting, we’re getting on
the train of life and it’s full steam ahead. Let´s choose life!"

"I did it because I wanted to. Why would I settle? I wanted to like the way I
looked. I went to see a private doctor and asked how much it would cost, what
the procedure would be, and he was the one who got me in the Motiva® program
to get reconstruction."

"It was two months after my daughter was born. My breast became inflamed, we
didn’t know what it was. I think that my essence, today, is due to all the strength that
my mother showed me during her sickness. But I feel better, I am strong, and I want to
achieve many things. "

"I’m a woman who really likes to feel secure, and part of that security for me was
my breasts. I know I have to be conscious that I lost them, and this
reconstruction is like a gift, it’s like having them back but in another way."

"Motiva® gave me my life back. They brought me back to myself. I want other
women to know, even though this horrible thing is happening to you, you can opt
for reconstruction and come back from this as the same person you were."
