Hello mickyboy,

You're definitely not a shallow man and in fact you are very brave in coming forward and sharing these intimate issues which I am sure many other men on this forum can relate to. I hope you will get to chat to others here who have also had to deal with similar barriers and they may well have some good tips for you based on their own very personal experiences.

This booklet contains some valuable information specifically designed for partners of people with breast cancer. If you want to talk things through with our nurses, you can also ring them on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Enjoy your time away with her in a few weeks time. I hope you are going somewhere nice and that you have some quality time together.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
