Unhappy about body after BC

So, long story short I was diagnosed with DCIS (loads of it) in January and had lumpectomy with reduction on the other side. Actually wish I was offered a mastectomy with reconstruction cos that may have been better. Anyway, I Lost a nipple on the affected side. Was feeling pretty low and struggling with my new look. I know it's vain and I should be happy that any cancer is gone but I feel so insecure. It really is about 2 cup sizes different. I can't put any of my clothes on without feeling massively lopsided. It's awful. 

My husband (we only got married last July) doesn't want to see my nipple-less boob and I really have no desire to show him.

I kinda feel like telling him to leave and go and find someone who isn't both physically and emotionally a mess.

  • I had a reduction to remove breast duct problems going much smaller and my nipples are now very pale, large scars never bothered my husband as he said it's just the way it is and l love you. Just as well due to further breast operations and abdominal surgery recently,  that became more extensive than expected. Scars are growing! 
    take care and try to keep positive
