After an initial period of no desire after treatment, I relaxed and re-learned how to enjoy this new body - and sex has never been better. It truly CAN come back - don't give up on it!

It's been 5 years. I've struggled with this ever since finishing chemo. A sadly seldom discussed fall out from cancer.

Lori, this is so true. Plus our men have problems as they get older. It is a comedy of errors, or laughter, KY, tissues and well who knows that night. I could never schedule but trying to get my teen asleep before we do is hard.
OMG, he walked in on us during a cruise two years ago. He had to go number 2 and popped open the door and I got the sheet over me and my husband got up but he had no clue. Never got to finish!!

This is a very common side effect of all the chemo and hormone suppression drugs. I read on some website that 30-50% of women have this complaint. It, also, said that physicians are very insensitive to this...mine told me "most women are just happy to be alive". The site suggested treating any symptoms such as vaginal dryness and depression, exercise, be socially active, mentally force yourself to engage in sex (doing it makes it more desired)???
