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.

Hi
Does anyone else feel like breast cancer has affected your feminity? I’m on a chemo pill called anastrozole and I feel like a sort of remorse... My body has aged a lot through my treatment. Can anyone else relate to this?
Thank you
