Disability and Illness: Cancer

Cancer Introduction:
People who are diagnosed with cancer can have different emotional and physical experiences that may affect sexual functioning. These include the stress of receiving the diagnosis, the wish to focus on the cancer treatment without being distracted by a sexual relationship, their physical reactions to chemotherapy and other medications that can reduce sexual desire, and more. This channel discusses sexual and reproductive issues and options for people living with cancer.
