Dating & Intimacy After Breast Cancer & Reconstruction

BreastReconstruction.org hosted a conversation focused on dating and intimacy after breast cancer and breast reconstruction. Breast cancer survivors and advocates Jen Rozenbaum and Helen Cernigliaro explored how treatment and surgery can affect body confidence, self image, and relationships, while emphasizing the power of changing perspective as part of healing. Jen and Helen shared personal stories, practical guidance, and emotional insight on navigating dating during or after diagnosis, communicating openly with partners, redefining femininity and intimacy on your own terms, and letting go of unrealistic expectations. While intimacy after breast cancer may look different, different does not mean less. Watch Jen and Helen’s full session to learn more about how with self compassion, honest communication, and support, survivors can reconnect with themselves and others in meaningful and empowering ways.
