Love Remains True

the initial reaction repulsive
depression for the unknown
dissection takes away disease
healing the process of time
the scar a reminder of what was endured
becomes insignificant through understanding
love remains true

To all those magnificent women who overcome adversity and gain strength from not allowing 
Breast Cancer to dictate their fate.

My sister in law has had this and was fortunate enough to get reconstructive surgery. I'm sure any surgery is traumatic...Nice poem...Marty
