A couple of years down the track

@Tink I think that a really normal thought. When I had my first diagnosis I was 6 months out of my marriage with 2 children. For a few years I didnt think about it, but when I was ready I started dating and that was something I thought too..whilst I had my breasts I had a major lumpectomy was disfigured and didnt know how I would go. Well let me tell you, it wasnt an issue, obviously I built something first and it didnt bother him at all or the fact Id had breast cancer. I enjoyed the time we spent but this was my first relationship since my marriage and wasnt quite right so I moved on LOL.

THEN...late 2014 I met a man and things were going great, 7 months into our relationship I had a recurrence. My first thought was besides OH SHIT!! was I wouldnt expect him to stay knowing how bad it was going to get. From that diagnosis, all the tests, another major lumpectomy...all the way through chemo...out the other side....16 months post and Mastectomy/diep flap recon...he has been amazing...he never waivered, even when I had little faith. He's been a rock to me, we dont live together so its been challenging and complicated but we're coming up 3yrs this year. 

So I say to you....have a little faith in who you are, we are so much more than our physical self...take your time when the right one comes you will know, I feel so blessed  xx Melinda
