Hi Wendy1916, I’m coming up to my first year mammogram since I had my op and I’m a little scared to say the least. I can understand how you feel about every little pain or niggle. It is hard to shake off but I try to think positive. I have a wonderful family and my poor husband to has had to make do with not a lot of sexual intimacy. We do try in other ways instead but I also don’t feel very sexy and don’t really want to be touched. I love having cuddles still and I’m very lucky my hubby understands.
Maybe have a chat with your hubby about how you feel and see whether there are other ways that would be more comfortable to be a little more sexually active.
