Hi everyone I am interested to hear what your partners/husband feel about your breast cancer diagnosis. I am extremely upset and disappointed in my husbands reaction as all he seems to be interested in is how I will look once I lose my hair and breast. His main concern is for me to have immediate reconstruction after surgery and to buy a wig. He also said tongue in cheek that I might lose weight on chemo. I am hoping this is his way of handling my illness but as you can imagine this is the last thing I need. He said he is not being selfish but I think he has completely forgotten that I could die from this disease.
I am in shock from the reaction of a man I have been married to for 18 years and feel our marriage may not hold up.
I have a mixture of emotions towards him at the moment. My mother said leave him but that is easier said than done as I have nowhere to go.
Best wishes to you all.
