Any man who is turned off by that is no man at all.

i hope this is a hypothetical question and you don't truly have breast cancer but i will answer as though you do and are trying to make a decision to have your breast removed and possibly losing your mate. a man that truly loves you and wants the best for you and your body would definately want to accompany you to doctor appointments and be there for you all other times with love and sympathy as well as cheering you up. being there would consist of supporting your decision to have your breast removed, if after a second and possibly a third opinion from numerous doctors saying that it's the best thing to do in your stage of cancer. what makes a woman isn't breasts, it's what's inside. if your man is so superficial he should not be with you. although it 's a hard decision to make whether to keep a breast or not don't add to the heartache by assuming what your man will think. just ask him. if he truly wants what 's best for you he will stand behind you instead of walking away. give your man credit...not all men are shallow. first you need to find the strength within. men usually leave because they are usually stuck with a majority of the burden and can't handle it. if you do need a breast removed, get counciling for you and he and all famliy members involved. kids get scared and need to know what's going on, too. kids can't be left out and not included so please consider that as well. i'm sure you will be fine. also, alot of women go through a mastectomy and never follow up with mammograms and other treatments for the other breast and later find out it has matastisezed or spread. don't make tha t mistake either. breast cancer runs in the family, tell sisters, aunts, and all other female members of the family to get screenings as well. good luck and god bless.

I think for a man that is not personally connected to a survivor, the answer would be yes. Which I hate to say. But I have a friend that lost both her breasts and she said her husband was great. It never bothered him. He loves her so much that he is just happy she survived. She has been due to go in for her reconstruction, but it really is not an issue because she has gotten such support from mainly her husband. I feel that I would likely want the reconstruction for myself, whether my husband had a preference or not. I really think my husband would be supportive though. It is kinda like when you put on a few pounds...anytime I have gained weight, my husband hasn't wanted me less, but I wanted to lose the weight for myself. I hope this helps you. I think if we are talking about you..then if the man you are with is turned off, then he is not the man for you..you deserve better. but chances are he will love and want you just the same. He will likely want to make sure you don't feel neglected and you will be having awesome sex...good luck!!

If you are meeting a new man, then yes, he probably would. BUT, if you meet a new man and get to know HIM and he you...then the subject is bound to come up.
Now if you are in a committed relationship, while it is not an attractive scar, most men would not care. I like to give men the benefit of the doubt and say not ALL men are clods and I am sure you could find one that is sensitive to this topic.

personally, i think a man should love a woman even if she has only one breast due to cancer. it's not whats on the outside that matters, it's what she has on the inside that counts the most. let this be something to all you men to think about.

Many probably are, but if it's someone you've been with for a long time, like your husband, I doubt it would matter.
Many women who have lost one or both breasts due to breast cancer opt for breast augmentation. You should look into it.

If he were a real man he would love the woman even more for being so corageous, and surviving the battle of cancer. That doesnt make someone any less of a woman. I think men should be in it for so much more then that.

I wish i knew.My sister died in 1997 of breast cancer and she was only 49.Her 8th husband told her if she were to get a mastectomy,she wouldn't be a woman.So she did the radiation and chemo and died anyway.The day of the funeral her husband left the state with another man.

They may, but that isn't as serious as loosing your life. I have lost a breast and got a new lover. And cheated on him, and again ;-) so I broke up and had another one. Then I had my reconstruction done and found the love of my life, who didn´t even notice it was reconstructed, at first. So don´t worry about them, take care of yourself first!

If the man has love as a prime one with her, he should not feel for it. He should give her more love to comfort her from that loss of breast.

NOPE... Nothing at all. She's a woman after all. Maybe you need a bit of reality.... Would any woman be turned off if you had one ball because of cancer?
