Should I Tell My New Date About My Mastectomy?

Charlotte! I’m dying to know how this ended up?

Oh, I completely forgot to share an update here - I let him find out on his own. Went great 😉 I have a fabulous plastic surgeon!

I'm getting my double Mastectomy in June but I'm not in any relationship as that will be a while as my reconstruction surgery will take place after radiation not sure how long after but that wonderful that you were able to get past that with a new relationship

Hi Susan, sending warm wishes of healing as you recover ❤️

Hi Charlotte I have had the same radiation next week. Them have to wait till I heal my reconstruction dr said then another surgeon has to come in yo take skin from my stomach to finish did they tell u that I'm sorry I'm not trying to scre u

Sorry scare

This decision feels deeply personal, and there's no single right answer that works for everyone. Many people in similar situations find that having the conversation beforehand can actually reduce anxiety and create space for understanding and connection. Others prefer to wait until the moment feels natural. Consider what would help you feel most comfortable and authentic - whether that's sharing when you feel ready to open up, or waiting until physical intimacy is progressing naturally. The right person will respond with care and respect regardless of when they learn about your journey.
