Me Too......

Al, Thank you sooooo much for bringing this up. I was afraid to post about the libido and dryness issues which make the loving relationship with my husband strained. Not that he would ever say a word, but I know better. My oncologist seems to take the attitude that I am being kept alive by these treatments and that should be all I care about, but quality of life is an issue, especially if all of this works and we have long lives to look forward to. There must be some way we as a group can lobby for research into this area - and the weight issue as well. I am newer to the group, but has any type of group effort been made before to address issues like this with some sort of medical consortium that could help us?

Best to You All,

Donna

P.S. I had just lost 30 lbs. before diagnosis and gained back 18 :-(
