Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 If someone is interested in you, it shouldn't matter that you had a bilateral mastectomy. You should be loved for who are, not what your body looks like. Have you considered reconstruction if you are having a hard time accepting the mastectomies? I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Oh, don't feel depressed, you are still you. Those thingys get too much attention. When some gentle loving man comes into your life he will love you no matter what. He will respect you for coming through a very difficult thing. There are compassionate men out there. My boyfriend and I broke up 4 months ago after 3/12 years. He took sole care of me through the whole cancer thing. (My hair only started growing back in January which seems like last month. I feel like chemo just ended) It contributed to him becoming unable to tolerate the relationship anymore so we have seperated. We may never fully get back together so I wonder how someone is going to receive what I refer to as my enboob. It looks pretty good for what it is, I still need to get the tatooing done and I have a massive pink scar that can't be concealed. It's his problem if he doesn't like it. That's my opinion. We have been through hell and back and if some judgemental man wants to make you feel funny about your body screw him. Don't worry, everyone has things they are shy about. Yours shows something life changing you have been through, it's nothing to be ashamed about. Take care!a mspennylea wrote: I'm still young and single.
