Intimate Experiences

I would like to approach this from another angle. IF you have not yet had your mastectomy, you may wish to discuss with your doctor options that leave you with natural looking reconstructed breasts and minimal scars. If you qualify for a nipple sparing mastectomy or sugical access via the inframmamory fold, your concerns with an intimate partner can be minimized. However, if this is not possible, know that you are still beautiful on the inside, outside and everywhere inbetween, and likely post cancer you have such a love for life that a few scars really will not matter to a mate....you will be simply irresistable! This is a minefield!! Post mastectomy with reconstruction I am GREAT. In Clothes. I am separated and have been for over a year. The thought of being intimate with anyone is terrifying. Allowing another person to see the battle scars in an intimate setting, I don't know how you get past that. I have more questions than answers but I think I just wanted you to know you are by NO MEANS alone with these thoughts. Without getting x rated, I would think a casual fling might create more of an issue than being intimate on an emotional level with someone. OK.... this just may be as far as I can take this thought....... Just know, you are not alone. For what that is worth...... Many of us feel the same way.
