A breast cancer survivor is going viral after posting a photo of her breastfeeding her 10-day-old son, proudly showing off her mastectomy scar.

Bo Smith from Sugar Land, Texas, shared the image to Facebook.

“Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you,” she wrote.One breast cancer survivor’s photo is going viral as she proudly shows her mastectomy scar (Photo via Facebook)
Women bare their mastectomy scars for breast cancer awareness The 32-year-old was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, an aggressive and rare form of the disease, three years ago.

“I can’t begin to explain how this feels everyday to be able to breastfeed my son, after losing one breast to cancer and being told I may not ever have this sweet boy in my arms,” she wrote.

“I am not ashamed of this body. This is what continues to remind me of how lucky I am to be here today.”

After discovering the lump in her breast just a month after getting engaged, Smith underwent extensive treatment to eradicate the disease.

“I still remember sitting with my oncologist as she held my hand and explained that there was only a 40 per cent chance of living to five years, and feeling so drained and numb that I couldn’t even cry.”

After undergoing chemotherapy, Smith had her left breast removed.

“I opted to keep my right breast so that I may one day have a chance to breastfeed my future children,” she said.

Two years after completing radiotherapy, Smith was officially in remission — but she also discovered the treatment had affected her fertility.

“I was devastated. My first words were, ‘My life is over. I will never be a mom’,” she told the Daily Mail.

The Internet has heaped praise on Argentinian police officer after an image of her breastfeeding a neglected baby went viral.

The baby was seriously malnourished when he arrived at the Sister Maria Ludovica Children’s Hospital in Buenos Aires, following reports that the child’s mother was struggling to look after him.

Spotting that staff were overworked, police officer Celeste Ayala asked if she could help hold and then breastfeed the baby, who was described by staff as being “smelly and dirty.”
A colleague uploaded an image of the touching moment to social media and the picture has since gone viral, clocking up over 110K shares and 152K reactions.

Speaking about her actions to local media Celeste explained: “I noticed that he was hungry, as he was putting his hand into his mouth, so I asked to hug him and breastfeed him.

“It was a sad moment, it broke my soul seeing him like this, society should be sensitive to the issues affecting children, it cannot keep happening.”

The local fire department, who Celeste also volunteers for, released a statement praising her actions.

“We want to congratulate the voluntary firefighting cadet Celeste Ayala who yesterday in her job as police officer whilst she was on guard duty at the Hospital, breastfed a young child who arrived crying.

“Actions like these fill us with pride and obligate us to redouble the effort, the work and the solidarity with our community.”
And the Internet was also quick to show their support for the caring officer.

“Congratulations a great gesture they don’t teach you anywhere,” one FB user wrote in Spanish (translated to English).

“Beautiful gesture, congratulations,” agreed another.

He particularly gave his message on behalf of the Editorial Board to the Muslim pharmacist to serve the man kind with same spirit and motion as our father Ibrahim (AS) did in Mecca. We should always seek  the pleasure of Allah by scarifying, helping and serving the mankind without any discrimination of race, faith and location.
