| Cancer and Sexuality |
| Survivorship and Sexuality For most individuals, after the initial cancer diagnosis, their focus, naturally, is on finding the best available treatment. While sexual issues are often a concern for many cancer patients, their spouses and partners during treatment, quite often individuals do not seek sexual counseling until later on, after treatment, when the full impact of their experience has been processed. During this period of self exploration and refection, a common area that is explored by survivors is how the experience has affected their sexuality and their sexual identity and how they can again function, sexually, in a way that brings pleasure, satisfaction and enjoyment. Healthy sexuality is an important quality of life issue. The reality is that for many patients and caregivers, and for many healthcare professionals, sex and sexuality are harder to discuss than diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Rothenberg recognizes that individuals have questions that sometimes have never been addressed and helps people to discuss topics that are often difficult to talk about.
