While putting on her swimsuit top during her honeymoon, Rach DiMare noticed a lump on her breast. She immediately got an appointment scheduled, and after further tests, the doctors found out that she had four tumors—invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer. It was two months before her 28th birthday. The whole thing seemed surreal. She kept thinking in the back of her mind; they must have messed up with her results with someone else. She did neoadjuvant chemotherapy, chemo before surgery, and bilateral mastectomy. She didn’t realize how much pain she would be in after surgery. She couldn’t go to the bathroom alone and couldn’t walk. Breast reconstruction looked great, but it just didn’t feel like her own body for her. Everyone made comments, “At least you got a free boob job.” Sadly, she had no choice. She likes to use the word thriver. She is a successful fashion Vlogger(rdsobsessions.com) and currently living happily with her husband and her little man in Chicago, Illinois.
