I am a Cancer survior and I wanted to know how many of you have had cancer are being treated or are in remission etc.
How do you feel about all of it, and how has it changed your sex life, etc.
I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer, in my femur) in December of 2006 at the age of 18 almost 19. By then I was loosing my sex drive, because I was in so much pain from the tumor growing in my femur, before I found out it was cancer I thought It was just a sprain.
I did not have sex all through my first treatment which lasted through the year till the beginning of fall. I had lost a lot of weight through that time, and I was really comfortable with my body, I loved to show it off, I even started doing some modeling. My bf at the time was really attracted to me but I didn't want to have sex at all. Part of me was afraid to while I was on chemo, part of me just wasn't interested at all.
After chemo he got me to try a little bit but I just wasn't enjoying it. I think one time I let him fuck my feet because I didn't want to have sex lol.
Also after finishing chemo I started gaining my weight back and I stopped doing the modeling.
Eventually we broke up it was a mutual thing, we just weren't attracted to each other anymore, we were always fighting, it just wasn't working out. I do believe that he never cheated on me, even now looking back I say I probably would have because it was just ridiculous what I put him through. By he was always there for me and very loyal, we are still really good friends its better this way.
A while after we broke up I started getting a bit of my sex drive back and started seeing a few men. My sex drive has been building ever sense then, even though my cancer had come back, in my lungs this time, about a year after finishing chemo. Now I have been doing my second round of chemo and have been sexually active through the whole thing.
Because of my cancer I have had to have several surgeries and I have several scars from those surgeries. I am not self conscious about the scars at all and I actually like to show them off.
However before my Knee surgery that removed the cancer from my femur, I was so worried about the scar. I was like I am never going to be able to wear a skirt again. Lol it cracks me up to think about how worried I was about it, because right after the surgery I was showing it off to everyone that would let me.
I don't ever think of going through all of this as a bad thing, it has improved the way I feel about like and I really think it has over all made my life better. I have been absolutely comfortable with who I am through the whole thing. I actually loved being bald and never cared about the weird looks I got when I went places bald. I like to talk about it and I am completely open about it so if you do have any questions feel free to ask.
Now I would love to hear any stories other cancer patients or survivors have to tell.
