Sexuality & Survivorship: Life Beyond Cancer

Cancer changes more than our bodies—it can change how we see ourselves, how we experience intimacy, and how we navigate relationships long after diagnosis. Yet sexuality and survivorship remain topics that many survivors, caregivers, and even healthcare providers rarely discuss openly.In this episode of Life Beyond Cancer, Frances shares an honest conversation about the emotional and physical impact cancer can have on intimacy, body image, dating, marriage, and learning to feel comfortable in your own skin again.
