Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Jackie although I'm sorry for how challenging things have been since having your mastectomy.
It's completely understandable, and natural, to be feeling anxious or worried things will not be the same as before but I hope this information Breast Cancer Now have about intimate relationships and breast cancer can help you and your partner work through this together.
Life after breast cancer surgery can be tough, with many ups and downs along the way, but our community are here for you and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.
If you'd like to discuss this with our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very understanding will do all they can to support you at this time but if you have been allocated a breast cancer nurse, you may find it helpful to talk things through with them as well.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
