New to this forum, I've been having a very difficult time lately, emotionally, after the surgery...I can't help being disgusted at my own body and it makes me depressed and angry. I live alone, don't have a partner, and don't know how I'll ever get one now. am I the only one who is so depressed because of that??

Hi everyone,

Hope you've been doing well. 😊

I was going through some older discussions and found this one, which I think may be of interest to many members.

How do you cope with changes your body has been going through as a result of breast cancer? What tips can you share with others?

Take care!
