I've had a double and the worst reconstruction job imaginable. Got back into dating about 3 years after I'd finished treatment. Online, no less. Once I'd figured out a few clever ways to indicate I'd had cancer in my profiles I was off and running.
To be honest, most men couldn't give two hoots (pardon the pun) I'm no great trophy anymore and wanted to meet men who were more interested in what was going on between my ears than under my shirt. I know it is a bit challenging for some men, that's their loss. Don't get me wrong, I've been nervous as hell and am not at all surprised that a couple have found the mangled looking foobs off putting. Nevermind, sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs.
You are more than the sum of your parts. Anyone who can't cope with you having no boobs, or not wearing your prosthesis ain't the man for you. Wave them goodbye.
Good luck and have fun. Marg
PS. I'm now with a terrific guy who has stood by me through my recent recurrence. He loves me, boobs or no boobs, cancer or not.
