The weirdest thing I have encountered during this whole breast cancer situation is everyone being sad about me losing my breasts and uterus except for me.

I have zero negative emotions about it.

Quite the opposite. I& #39;m elated.

When I was in 2nd grade I found a bag of ninja turtle toys in my mother& #39;s room. It was right before my birthday. I just knew they were for me. The whole family was at my house. Aunties, uncles, cousins etc. My aunt told me I had a surprise. I just KNEW it was turtles.

Imagine baby me standing there with the family teasing me about what it could be. I& #39;m getting so excited. Trying to tell myself to act surprised.

And out she comes, waving above her head...

Right then I was like, BOOBS ARE THE DEVIL. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

My period came when I was 11. I have 3 older sisters. 2 of them always had week long torturous periods. I was no different. Debilitating cramps and vomiting for me were normal. Messy, ugly clots and big bunchy pads like diapers.

UGH.

When they told me they& #39;re taking my uterus and shutting down my ovaries I was like:
