Country singer Morgan Wade has bravely shared her post-surgery recovery journey after undergoing a double mastectomy last November due to a genetic mutation putting her at high risk for breast cancer.

“I haven’t talked much about my post surgery recovery from my double mastectomy and reconstruction I had back in November,” Wade begins, emphasizing her journey’s personal significance.

In an Instagram post showcasing her recovery photos, Wade candidly shares her experiences, from wearing post-surgery bras and compression bandages to reclaiming her strength with pull-ups and push-ups at the gym. She acknowledges the adjustments to her body post-surgery, including the absence of nipples due to her family history of breast cancer, but expresses contentment with her decision and gratitude for her fast healing process.
Some of those activities included “pull-ups, push-ups, and getting a massage,” which she was unable to do due to being unable to lie on my stomach after the procedure. She also addresses her satisfaction with the implants she received, emphasizing her positive outlook despite the adjustments to her appearance. “It was an adjustment to look at myself for a minute,” she said. “I’m still adjusting to how different my body looks — change is never easy — but this was worth it. I have 0 regrets and I am extremely happy with the choice I made.” She also added that she’s “blessed God got me through this and has allowed me to heal fast and I look forward to a healthy long life Lord willing.”
