I had a mastectomy and reconstruction 4 years ago. I am divorced and on my own. Have been watching Emmerdale and it has floored me. I know it is only a programme, but it has made me realise that I am scared of meeting anyone. The reaction when she told someone she had had a double mastectomy was awful. Has anyone else felt scared like this?
hi Mila,
I did not have the surgery you had, so it is not within my experience. All I can say is a friend of mine who had a mastectomy & was divorced, did meet her new partner after treatment & he was fine & supportive over it.
As the story demonstrated, there will always be the odd person who handles it badly, in which case one is better off without them.
So hope you feel better soon

Hi Mila
Am also on my own and can’t even think about meeting anyone as feel like who would want to be with me.
Corrie is also a difficult watch at the moment with Sally’s storyline x
