LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX

-

For breast cancer patients, one subject that often doesn’t get talked about is how it can affect their sex lives. Loss of libido, menopause, fertility, body issues and psychologi­cal impacts are all things women can struggle with. But your doctor, breast cancer nurse and other health profession­als are there to help. “I think a lot of people think there’s nothing that can be done or they can’t have sex anymore or can no longer be intimate, but there are ways we can help you,” medical oncologist Dr Belinda Kiely says. The Breast Cancer Trials Q&A event Let’s Talk About Sex is a free online event and takes place on September 30. Head to this link to register: breastcanc­ertrials.org.au/qa-registrati­on
