Nikki Nims, my friend, and fellow SCAR Project model joined us on the podcast today. She shares her story of being 33-weeks pregnant with a surrogate baby when she found her lump while showering. She talked about the diagnostic screenings, getting the diagnosis while at a routine visit with her OB, going into survival mode, and her course of treatment. Nikki discusses her regrets with not being more particular with the plastic surgeon and looking at all of the reconstructive options. She shares the struggles with friends, family, and strangers that make judgments and comments that are insulting. Nikki shared her experience as a model for the ScarProject and also talks about the bond that she has with the surrogate baby that she says saved her life.
