Light changes everything. 2008. 2014. 2016. 

Three breasts, all gone.

The first. 1943-2008. My mother's. 'It's nothing compared to a liver transplant, pet.'

The second. 1968-2014. Mine. Gut-wrenching fear. No autonomy, no control. 

The third. 1968-2016. Gone at my insistence. Red and glowing, strength and wisdom.

A reclaiming of my body, our bodies.
