Hi there
I am a 60yr old man and have been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus stage 4 ! Having completed 8 cycles of target and chemo been told tumour is minimal at the moment and can now eat well and putting weight back on . I have been put on a 3 weekly maintenance jag of Trastuzumab indefinitely !
My partner of 9yrs and myself have maintained our sex lives throughout my treatment albeit making sure it was safe sex at all times , in case I passed any of the drugs to him through body fluids etc ! For us both still being intimate has been a big boost mentally and has brought us even closer than ever !
My question is can we go back to having unprotected sex together again now ? We trust each other inexplicitly in all aspects of our lives and would really like to be properly close with one another , even if its only nearer the end of my 3 weekly down period ! We are not together permanently but usually meet up every 3 weeks or so .
Hope you maybe able to give us some advice as drawing blanks and confusing information from other sources !
Many thanks D .
