As I wrote last February, breast cancer is not “big sexy time.”
I know that the negative impact of cancer treatment on sexuality and response is kind of a taboo topic. And I figure that improvements in this arena over time are even a more taboo topic.
Ladies don’t like to kiss and tell. But it sure would be nice to know that after all of the body rearrangement, surgeries, and chemical warfare, that there’s something to which those of us with partners or those of us who are between partners, might possibly look forward.
So hypothetically speaking, I think that things in that, ahem, arena could improve over time.
That is all.
What? We don’t kiss and tell? Silly girl. That’s the best part. :- D
They do but it takes a bit of time!!!!! Talking and understanding….

I meant talking about it with your girlfriends a la Sex and the City was the best part.
Cuz, you can entice me all you want, but I hit the edge of my personal TMI bubble with this post. π
You just need to drunk blog. I’ll pour you a couple shots. :- D

This is a tender topic isn’t it? I’ve been pretty quiet on this – not because I don’t want to talk about it, but because I worry about infringing upon my hubby’s privacy. Still, some day i might feel brave enough to take it on. So, kudos to you for writing anything at all about it!
Thanks so much, Nancy! The encouragement is much appreciated. My hubby, believe it or not, is much more comfortable with personal disclosure than am I. So, my merely dipping my toe into this water is due to my own squeamishness. But I think it’s so important for women to know that physical intimacy can improve.
