Sexuality and cancer

Cancer and its treatment can have a dramatic effect on your sexuality and relationships. Even if the changes are temporary, you may have many questions that you would like answered to help you understand what is happening. We hope that this information will help you to understand more about sexuality so that you are able to ask the questions which relate directly to you and your situation.
