Welcome to the site, yes it is a shock to our lives to be told you have bc. The docs stand there and tell you and all you can do is sit there in disbelief, did I hear right.
Your questions yes you still are you, your breasts are a part of you but they don't define who you are. I can't tell you how your partner will react, i can only tell you about my experience. I started my trip in early 2014, over 2 years I had chemo and herceptin also 7 surgeries which included a mastectomy and reconstruction My scars ar fading, I was only looking at them this morning.thinking how much they have faded. I can honestly say yes it has changed my life but I'm still here with good days and bad. I'm back at work and trying to enjoy every day.
Try and take it one day at a time we never know what tomorrow will bring, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Take care visit often lots of people on this site at diffrent stages and a understanding of how you are feeling xx
