Sexual side effects and your wellbeing webinar
This webinar looked at how the side effects of treatment might impact your wellbeing, sex life and your relationship
We heard from a Prostate Cancer UK Specialist Nurse and a psychosexual therapist who helps people with cancer treatment related sexual concerns. A man with prostate cancer and his wife also shared their story about how their sex life and relationship was affected by the side effects of his treatment.
We ended the webinar with a Q&A session.
Over 160 people tuned in live on the day - but don't worry if you couldn't make it. You can catch up with the recording below.
