Sex/Surgery/Chemo/ & "Coding Annie Parker"

I was trying to not be the first person to leave a comment here,but as nobody has,and it's a REALLY important subject,I will get the ball rolling! I can relate to lots of what you have said Jessica.My husband and I slept in separate beds after my surgery,because he felt it would be more comfortable for me,and it was.When chemo started,because I was awake half the night,and my husband works shift work,we continued to stay the same way.We are now both back in our bed,lol,but it is the little things like this,that if you don't address them at the time,can very quickly become a part of your ' new' life.I would think also,that if you are a young Mum,with little kids to care for,AND you are going through BC,this is a huge added stress on the whole family,let alone the sexual /romantic side of your relationship.I guess because we are so caught up in the whole 'treatment' thing,that we tend to forget the importance of relationships.But just like BC,they need looking after also.This is a great topic Jessica,and I hope you get lots of posts.The beauty of this blog is its anonymity ,when it comes to sensitive subjects,as this is for so many people.CheersxoxRobyn
