Breast cancer husband needs
09/25/09
How do you deal with a husband who needs "real parts with nipples"? I had reconstruction. It was not enough. Now they have found lymph nodes enlarged. I don't know what to do. How do I deal with this? I can't compete with a "real woman." I don't want the lies anymore.

I'm sorry you and your husband are struggling with this issue. Have you considered counseling - either together, or just you, if he's not willing? Readers, do any of you have advice on dealing with this situation? PJH

Hi there..I would like to say this isn't about your husband..It's about you!!!! I take it the reason you had reconstruction is you had breast cancer? Had a mastectomy? You didn't elaborate so if it is because of breast cancer.. Your the one that went through it all..surgery, treatments....even though cancer effects the whole family. All I have to say is if he really truly loves you..it's not about cancer or fake nipples...he needs to love you in sickness or health..no matter what...and PJ is right, counseling would help him accept..... it is what it is.....good luck!!!!
