Starting over

I'm single again, a widow. Married twice, divorced once. I just went through breast cancer. I had surgery and a round of chemo, and things are looking good so far. I wonder if it is worth starting over again in my late 40s. I have scars; they say some will never completely go away. I used to be proud of my body. Now I look in the mirror and wonder if anyone would want me.

What helped her through the whole situation that was the fact that it didn't matter to me and I saw her still is beautiful if she was before..... So yes it is a common thing with that and you like her I'm sure it's just as beautiful just have a scar of something you live through be proud of it it is a badge of courage and honor

there is as the saying goes someone for everyone most genuine people won't be put off by some scars they are merely evidence of the life we have lived and the battles we've endured i am full of scars some minor some quite big ones from ops etc, go find that new start

If i were you I WOULD! If someone loves you unconditionally those scars won't matter. I thank God that you are doing well. and i pray that if you decide to seek love again that you find the love of your life again.

I am widowed from woman he passed away from COPD December 28th 2018 and she had elements in the left side of her body taken out in her left breast removed and she had a scar that was almost I'd say inch and a half wide from her armpit all the way down and she felt same way

You have been through a lot and that in itself will make you attractive to some good people. The strength you have shown and the wisdom that comes with difficult experience. As for the scars or anything else about your body, don't worry. Only a superficial person that you wouldn't want anyway would be deterred from desiring you.

I know women don’t like scars. Men treat them like battle ribbons.
For many men, we don’t see stretch marks or scars.

It depends on what you are looking for. Personality turns me on more than anything else no matter how cute or hot the woman's body may be. If someone comes your way and the both of you fall in love with each other, nothing else matters.

I am sorry for your loss. There is hope out there for you. Just don't give up.

Dollars to donuts, if you make an effort to put yourself out there, you're going to find someone looking for a relationship, just as you are, and not a pair of perfect tits. So, it he ticks enough of your boxes, why not start over at 41? The new journey could be as exciting and fulfilling.

Congratulations for surviving breast cancer. And you should be still proud of yourself and your scars! It shows your strength and tenacity.

If you find someone worth having, your body won’t be the most important thing - it’s all the rest. Don’t let it hold you back.

The scars that matter are on the inside. Those are the ones to work on healing. maybe some self esteem repair?😷
