Sex is an important part of life, you have a partner or not. If the cancer occurs in life, most people with cancer face problems limiting the development of their sexual lives. Strangely, this aspect is rarely discussed between the patient and her doctor.
Under the diagnosis is often difficult to broach the subject. Practitioners for their part, aware of the fear aroused by the announcement of a cancer focus their message on the treatment.
Unequal address these difficulties, but still stronger together
SexualitéL’importance cancer and the consequences of cancer on sexual life varies according to each. Sexual desire declines often with conditions of greater stress. Anxiety about the disease and the consequences of cancer treatments – such as changes in physical appearance, fatigue, disturbances of the hormonal balance – can cause a significant decrease in libido.

All your projects seem to collapse like a house of cards, and feelings of sadness, rage and incomprehension that tributary relegate sexual desire to a secondary concern.
