Episode 17: Get the Facts on Sexuality and Intimacy when Coping with Cancer

Having cancer is not easy and comes with a lot of baggage. While you battle the disease, your body begins to change and what was once familiar may become foreign. Often times, side effects from cancer treatments can lead to sexuality and intimacy issues with a partner or loved one. In this episode, we’ll explore what some of the most common problems are, why they occur and how they can be treated. We’ll also talk about fertility treatments and the cost of wanting a family after cancer. Guests include Leslie Schover, PhD, Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; and Pamela Lewis, MA, Clinical Sociology, Cancer Survivor, and Senior Behavioral Research Coordinator also at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
