Discussing sexual concerns can be a difficult subject; however, you may find it helpful to speak with your oncologist or nurse about these issues. They can explain how your treatment may affect your sexual functioning and may have suggestions and helpful advice for you and your partner. If you have additional questions, you may want to ask your oncologist for a referral to a sex therapist or counselor.
