The physical and emotional changes leave very little desire for intimacy. Very self conscious about the change in body image! More interested in surviving!!

Hi Epinto , thank you for sharing with us. There's a webinar tomorrow on Sexuality after Cancer that delves more into the topic. There will be discussion about the physical, psychological, and relationship issues that often emerge. If you're interested you can register here: bit.ly/2oimcpW

Totally different game when you're 60+ and single.
