How are you all doing with intimacy? Are you perceived as too fragile though you feel your not. How are you dealing with relationships without breast reconstruction. If you've had a total hysterectomy, how are you feeling and physically doing?

These intimate concerns after cancer treatment are incredibly common and valid. Many in this community have navigated similar challenges with body image, physical changes, and feeling misunderstood by partners who may be overly cautious. The experiences shared here often help others feel less alone in working through these deeply personal aspects of recovery and relationships.

I can't tell you when the last time my husband and I were intimate. I have no desire. He doesn't perceive me as being to fragile. It's all on my end. I did not have a mastectomy, I had a lumpectomy.
