Oh , how lucky you are with your partners!, because you've been together for a long time...........probably. As for me, I had a relationship for six months, and suddenly, after he knew, he said he couldn't stay with me in a near or longer future, just said "i didn't suit him", maybe, maybe not, and assured me it had nothing to see with the illness......difficult to believe, just after St Valentine's day, when he gave me such a nice and engaging present, and said just a couple of weeks ago, "we were a couple"......... - So, I guessed, it was too difficult for him to accept me like this or imagine the possible consequences especially because i had a "masectomy"........i don't really know, but can understand, it must be difficult to see a woman operated with one breast left! however, as I really accepted my illness and the consequences, I couldn't really understand other people who didn't accept the "new" me , just as I was...........it made no difference to me!!!! I also noticed the Men's reaction when I said I had breast cancer.........just a reluctant reaction!!!! i don't speak about it now, but, i'd like to have Men to say what they feel about it, how they can react and why, even if I know that everybody is different..........it seems that most men react as if we were not women any longer!!!? but why? please answer me; Thanks a lot if you do.
