Hi,I'm Leigh I have breast cancer and I had get my right one removed. My left one was reduced, so I feel a bit down about how my chest looks now. I don't know whether a man will accept me or not the way I look now or accept me because I am under care .

Hey Leigh, I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Any real man knows that true beauty comes from within. Breasts don't make a woman. I'm confident that you will find a good match. Just be patient and picky. Make sure your next partner is worthy of you. I wish you all the best! Stay strong!
