A lovely support
I feel blessed to have found the BCNA. The support here is so comforting and very caring.

Hey Anne,
His worries are valid as he loves you....I chose a single mastectomy (only because the other breast was fine, but this was my choice and everyone is different) and whilst there is a change in intimacy, it doesn't mean there's no intimacy: it's what we all call the "new normal".
More than likely you'll be put on Tamoxifen anyways and that has its own side effects.
There are loads of resources on this which you can get from BCNA, your 'My Journey' kit and also your breast care nurse.
There are also resources for partners and your husband could ask some of these questions of your breast surgeon.
