Female
Explains how she feels different sexually four months after radio-chemotherapy.

 



I mean you have to just I have not been able, I have not been able to have sex yet since. And I think a lot of it is to do with the fact that after you've been through this treatment you've been prodded and poked so many times around in your nether regions that actually the prospect of somebody coming any near you wanting to have sex is so repellent. Because you feel like, you feel a bit like a thing I thing and doctors would never want you to say that you feel like a thing but you do because you've had months of people operating on you and you've had about 20 different doctors seeing your bits as you're sort of lying there and you just don't feel very sexy about things like that any more.
