Sex and Cancer, Intimacy: Romance, and Love after Diagnosis and Treatment

Saketh Guntupalli and Maryann Karinch

When most women are going through ovarian cancer and treatment, they are only thinking of the next steps. They move forward through cancer without much thought of anything else including husbands and partners. Treatment ends, and after celebrating, what happens next? Most ovarian cancer survivors put everything in their lives on hold, and life after cancer certainly doesn’t look like life before cancer. How to start again? Sex and Cancer is a great resource for an issue that is experienced by most ovarian cancer survivors, but more often than not, it’s not discussed. The issues that the book addresses and the feelings that go with it are extremely relevant. This book is recommended for both survivors and their partners!
