Program

Sexuality and intimacy are often overlooked topics of discussion when a young adult is diagnosed with blood cancer. Concerns may arise from the physical aspects of the disease or treatment, as well as from the emotional aspects. Anger, guilt, or worry—about illness and survival, treatment or even finances—may affect sexuality. Sexuality encompasses physical, psychological, social, and emotional factors. It includes self image, body image, reproductive ability, emotional intimacy, sensual feelings and sexual functioning.

Join this important and frank discussion to learn more about sex and relationships during and after treatment. You will get a detailed list of resources, including local programs and chats where you can continue the discussion.
