Breast Cancer
Brittney Beadle was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer when she was 18 years old. A lot of young survivors tell us that dating after cancer can be a bit awkward when you first get back out there.
“It’s kind of awkward to be like, ‘Hey, just so you know, I don’t have nipples,'” Brittney says. But she has a good attitude about the whole ordeal. Brittney says once she came to terms with what really made her beautiful, she was able to feel comfortable getting back in the dating game … even if she still has to have the awkward conversations sometimes.
“When I was bald, when I didn’t have any breasts, that’s when I realized I’m beautiful just how I am,” Brittney says. “It’s not my boobs that make me, it’s not my hair that makes me, it’s just me that makes me beautiful. It’s from the inside.”
