It's 8 months since I finished treatment and I'm doing OK apart from a few issues like hip & back pain which I've had acupuncture for and unpredictable bowels. One thing that has disappeared altogether is my libido. My partner has been patient with me, but the thought of sex actually scares me now.
Has this happened to anyone else?
