Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful week! 🙂

I've opened this discussion so that we can talk about the challenges or concernes of intimate life with breast cancer.

Has your intimate life changed since your diagnosis? Does your partner understand and support you? Do you have any advice to share?

Don't hesitate to share your experiences and advices here!

Take care,
Berthe
