Living with Prostate Cancer: Meet others & introduce yourself

Guys, I have PC with mets to bone in 5 places. Feeling good after chemo. And, my testosterone is so low none of my equipment works. My husband is understanding and says the main reason he loves me has nothing to do with sex, but he has a very strong sex drive where mine is non-existent now. Does anyone else have a similar experience? The oncologist I go to has no support group, social worker or counselor they can recommend. I need to talk with others and hear how they cope with this situation. I know this has nothing to do with cancer treatment per se, but having to face this huge change in my intimate life with my spouse causes me tons of stress.

I was hoping someone else would address this issue. My husband has PC and is taking Xtandi (pills) & the Eligard shot 2 X’s a year. We have only been dealing with this since March. He also had it spread to a part of his pelvis bone and lymph node. We have no support group as we are only dealing with a urologist. My husband has low testosterone (175) and his PSA is .9 because of the medication he is using. The doctor recommended using a penile pump which is successful some of the time.
My husband says it all starts with mindset but it’s very frustrating.
