MY SCAR STORY

[@TashaaLathamm]

This video is more proof that none of us have any idea what someone might be going through or has gone through. Everyone needs to be kind and just appreciate everything in your life. Such an honest and very personal video to share. What an incredible woman you are! 💗

[@georginamaher2450]

I have so much respect for you sharing your story, I was born with major facial deformities, 13 surgeries later my face, my mouth and and body are scarred, I used to pile on makeup to cover up what I could on my face, but in the last two years I've worn no make up :) embrace the things that make you you :)

[@erinmay2]

Wow you must be incredibly brave!

[@deniselaird7764]

Totally agree, embrace your scars, they are a sign of strength.❤

[@chloegriffin747]

You’re so brave for sharing your story on such a huge platform! I bet Ana and Atticus are so proud of their mum, what an amazing woman you are!❤️

[@northernworld]

Honestly, I cried, it's horrible what you had to go through, you are a strong woman, your daughter and son must be so inspired by you, you battled your way through some horrible situations, you come out stronger and a fighter, you deserve nothing but happiness, love and support, I really do wish you all the best for your future. Everyday is truly a gift, when my husband died back in December from a brain hemorrhage, it truly makes you appreciate each day you wake up, as painful as is passing is, I will never take for granted each day I can live for us both, you truly are an inspiration julie, I truly mean that, I so glad that you decided to do KZbin like Anna, the world needs more people like you and your family.

Aww Julie, you are one very Brave lady! You have been through so much and have hid it so well. I honestly think it's great to show others your bravery! I have bad varicose veins on my right leg, I've had these since I was 18 and despite having operations they've always grown back, It has stopped me feeling able to wear certain clothes, through fear of being judged! I wish I could follow in your footsteps lovely lady x

Hi Julie. THANKYOU so much for sharing this story. I have suffered with endometriosis since the age of 11 (now 39). I have stage 4, have previously had cin 3. I had raised CA125 (level 48) which thankfully was ok. For the past 18 months I have had a significantly swollen stomach and have now been told from recent bloods that my CA125 level is 90! I have an emergency scan this Thursday and I am very stressed and nervous. So inspiring to hear that you survived all this and whatever happens Thursday I’m glad I saw this video beforehand. Xx

I cried so much during this. Thank you for posting. In 2019 I was admitted to hospital and didn’t come out for 6 months. I have numerous scars (2 which look like bullet holes). I still can close my eyes and be back in ICU. The trauma it can bring is so scary. I thank the NHS every single day. I hope everything is now okay with you. ❤️❤️

[@jessicazdanowicz871]

I have a scar across my stomach, non-ovarian/non-cancer related, however, I have always been so scared to wear tops like crop tops/belly tops because of my scar. My scar is what has saved me and is the reason I’m here today, I have a condition called Cystic Fibrosis which remotely effects the lungs and the digestive system. When I was just 3hours old a surgeon had to operate on me as I had a huge chunk of my bowel missing and if it wasn’t for her operating on me as a tiny baby and fixing what bits of my bowel I had left, together, I wouldn’t be here 25 years later🤍 I’m so thankful for the NHS and how much they do for us. She had to go back in 3 weeks later as the work she did, sadly came undone but the work she did on me at three weeks old is the reason I’m here. You’ve shown me Julie that I shouldn’t hide my scar away, it’s a story of why I’m here and I should embrace it just like you❤️ keep being you!

[@alisha2885]

Well done for keep fighting through the hard times. Life definitely throws some challenges at us. I’ve got about 5 key hole scars from having cervical cancer and they still sometimes bother me 3.5 years down the line so I’m taking your advice for sure to think that saved my life having them there and it will take time to get past the hiding them part. They said to me they would have to do a cut like a c section which I was dreading to think to have such a big scar but they didn’t in the end which I found out after I would up. Like you said have surgery from stomach area takes a very long time to heal and having to remember especially when your beginning to feel a bit better I can’t lift heavy things for an example. I fully understand the blur part I can’t remember much from having cancer it’s like your brain blocks that part of your life out. Glad your doing well now and I absolutely love your videos take care 💕💕

[@mellie197171]

Hi Julie, I can appreciate where you’re coming from. I lost my entire large bowel 2 years ago, died 5 times and have a 10 1/2 inch scar. Super proud of my scar and thank goodness I have it cos it saved my life not just for me but for my 2 wonderful children. Enjoy your hols ❤️

[@deniselaird7764]

I can totally understand how you feel about your scar now. I had major surgery about 12 years ago as I had a tumour in the centre of my liver which meant a liver resection of 70% and given a 50/50 chance of survival. We are so lucky to have the nhs and the staff in the intensive care are amazing.Ive gone from hating the sight of my scar to embracing it as it is a symbol of how strong you are to get through it. Going through something like that just makes you realise how important it is to share your experience as this will help others. Not everyone understands how much toll this takes on your mental health as well as physical and talking about it is therapy in itself. Thank you for sharing your story and sending you and your lovely family a massive hug.❤

Wow..bless you. What a story. I also have a huge scar due to abdominal surgery 3 1/2 years ago. I had some bowel removed, a bladder repair, hysterectomy, hernia repair and appendix removal all due to diverticular disease. I'd had so many infections and bouts of diverticulitis that all these organs were fused together and there were many abscesses inside too. I agree the nhs are amazing. I was in theatre 8 hours and owe them my life. Recovery took 7 weeks... it was grim. The scar doesn't bother me at all... like you it's the reason i'm here to tell the tale. Loved this video.Take care Julie. X

I do have smaller scars from gallbladder removal and a c-section also. I have pcos too and have had issues with pregnancies. My first baby passed early on in the pregnancy, my daughter Belle was born at 23 weeks and passed at 10 days old. My next little girl Myah is nearly 9 months old and helps me a lot.
