i had my surgery and chemo last year. reconstruction has been a problem. had implants put in twice and taken out twice. just had them put back in again a couple of weeks ago. so far, so good. i sleep with my boyfriend every night, and have an active sex life, but he hasn't seen my chest since the operation. i always wear a t shirt or night gown. same thing for when i wore a wig.i rarely took it off in front of him.

I had uni (left) mast in April 2007, implant recon with exchange in December -- my boyfriend hasn't seen the left breast entirely naked (except for me getting out of the shower) since excisional bx last March.  But he was always into the lingerie anyway.  He bought me a Victoria's Secret flyaway baby-doll chemise type thing with  matching panty last March between procedures -- definitely bedroom playwear.  I've been buying little "sets" -- bra & panties, teddy & garter belt, etc -- throughout our 9-year relationship -- so it's not really a post-BC change to have a little lace between us during sex.

Post-BC, I definitely like being a teeny bit covered -- but the coverings are definitely teeny and sexy...

I can't believe you had implants taken out and put in twice!!!

Please elaborate. I am sooooo unhappy with my reconstruction.

I never let my .... sometimes SO see me bald and the two times we've had sex, I've had a "top" on of some kind. I'm not where Ann is yet but one day, I hope to be.

Hugs girl,
