Self image

Hi Louise I can't compare as I have only had a lumpectomy but it does affect your self image. My husband doesn't want to look as he is extremely squeamish at the best of times. He won't even look at where my port is let alone touch me. I have literally just finished 33 radiotherapy treatments and am burnt and blistered. Hubby won't come near me. We no longer have a sex life as my girlie bits have shrivelled up and died, waiting to see the oncologist for suggestions as my gp couldn't help. I don't have any answers and truly do wonder if things will ever get better on that front. I'm very particular in the clothes that I wear so that none of my breast/s is showing in any way. I am very conscious that they aren't the same size now so don't wear anything tight either. I guess we get used to it eventually. I certainly hope so! Good luck with it all. Karen xox
