About this booklet
The booklet explains how cancer and cancer treatment may affect your relationships and sex life. It also gives information about coping with any changes and how to get more support.
This information is for you:
- whether or not you are in a relationship
- whether or not you are having sex
- whatever your sexual orientation or gender.
This booklet does not have detailed information about fertility. We have another booklet about this called Fertility support for young people affected by cancer
How we can help
There are lots of benefits that could help you after a cancer diagnosis, but the system can be confusing. Our Welfare Rights Advisors are here to help.
