But women with gynecologic and breast cancers have special questions and concerns. This book, based on interviews, studies, and research, explores how sexual function may be affected by cancer and its treatment and helps women feel more in control of their sex lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSex and Cancer is a superb resource for both patients and clinicians alike. Dr. Guntupalli masterfully tackles the complex implications for love and intimacy that are too often overlooked and underdiscussed when it comes to cancer. Regaining intimacy accelerates the path to regaining health and this book is an insightful, powerful guide to doing exactly that. -- Bill Frist, MD, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader\u003cbr\u003eSex and cancer, two topics each of which are difficult to discuss by alone. Combine them and the anxiety they cause may be insurmountable. Finally, there is a resource that is compassionate and practical for both the person coping with cancer and their loved one. This is a book that you will immediately find useful and refer back to on your cancer journey. Sex and Cancer has my highest recommendation. -- Stan Goldberg, PhD, author of Loving, Supporting, and Caring for the Cancer Patient\u003cbr\u003eA diagnosis of cancer changes everything. Not only does cancer affect the body, but the disease and the treatments for it can take a toll on our most intimate relationships.  Kudos to Saketh Guntapalli for shining a light on this important topic--for explaining the physiological underpinnings of these effects and for providing solutions that are often surprisingly simple to implement.  -- Claudia Cornwall, PhD, author of Battling Melanoma: One Couple's Struggle from Diagnosis to Cure and Catching Cancer: The Quest for its Viral and Bacterial Causes\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains critical information, too often omitted from doctor-patient discussions. It will be exceedingly helpful to any woman with gynecological cancer. -- Carol L.
