Bitter party of one...Cancer sucks, to live in recovery is what I prayed for, thank God. I just want the medical world (doctors, providers of drugs, hospitals, health care networks, insurance companies) to LISTEN!!! I am biased here, I am a male effected sexually by having had cancer as a result of the treatments to cure my cancer. Just tell us what will help us sexually AND because you no longer have to treat the cancer, dont make it so impossibly difficult to get the medication or whatever to help us. Apologies on the rant, but really not sure who is listening.
