I'm a newbie

Hi Aussie, yes it's nightmare alright! I've been on this crap journey twice. The first time was in 2003 when I had a lumpectomy and radiation. Bc came back in 2010 so I had to have a mastectomy and chemo.At first I was ok about losing a breast because I just wanted the cancer gone.I won't lie- it takes abit of getting used to on many levels.Down the track, you and your partner will figure out the intimacy thing. We are all different and for me,I don't do naked anymore but the sex is fine.I didn't lose my identity until I lost my hair.But,like everything in life, you get your head around it after awhile and muddle through.It may help to join a support group in your area? I run one in Sydney. Keep posting and ask any questions- it's a scary time and we know what you are going through.Tonya x
