Parts needed???

I had my annual exam 2 weeks ago. I'm a free and clear! That was a relief. I'm terrified of cancer of any kind. I do have to start mammagrams this year(OUCH!) Nothing like a machine turning your luscious titties into pancakes for the sake of science. I'm scared as hell, but not as scared as I am of breast cancer. I think about it and how it takes over the lives of the women who have it. Seems that everyone loves breasts so what happens to your womanhood when they are scarred or gone all together? I feel the very same way about my uterus. I don't plan on having any more children( unless I can talk a certain someone into running off to Jamaica and having a hut full) so I know my uterus isn't NEEDED but it's mine and I want to keep it. Do our parts as a whole make us women or is it the life we lead that keeps us in womanhood? Would I be any less a woman if one or both of my breast were removed? Would I still light fires it there were no chance of babies springing forth from me? It makes me truly think of how I define myself. I don't think of myself as "womanly" too much of a tomboy, but I'm all woman. Does that change if I lose those parts?
