Have your intimate relationships changed since diagnosis?

  1. Yes but only due the surgery which meant I had half of my vagina removed, making intercourse, for me, no longer possible. Some people can have reconstructive surgery or use dilators. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net

    1. Yes. Difficult to stay aroused and achieve orgasm.

      1. @shacky - have your discussed this with your doctor for suggestions? I am not a medical professional but assume that these tests and treatments may have other impact that hopefully will not be long lasting. Wishing you the best as you certainly have been through many treatments. Linda Urbanski ( moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
