Breast cancer and loss of 'femininity'

Hello @missbeautiful, thank you for sharing this with us. Cancer can really take a toll on both physical and mental health.

Can anyone relate to what @missbeautiful describes? Have you ever felt less "feminine" or that the treatment has taken a toll on your body? If so, how did you deal with these feelings?

hi mossbeautiful, I can totally relate. My body image, my femininity, everything was affected by cancer and treatments. Some days I'm coping, other not so much. Therapy helps, in my case. I don't know what I would do without it.

I feel a lot less than feminine. I feel lopsided and deformed. Went to see plastic surgeon he can fix it somewhat to be better looking, just waiting for the insurance to ok it.
