Just a week ago, Lesley Murphy was saying goodbye to her breasts.
The former US Bachelor contestant, who appeared on the reality dating show in 2013, had discovered she carried a particularly sinister gene mutation that dramatically increased her chances of developing breast or ovarian cancer.
One week and one double-mastectomy later, the 29-year-old travel blogger has shared a powerful photo of her scars and a heartwarming message to her family.
“My Sunday best, or what I could manage to put on today with limited arm movements,” she captioned the image.
