Hello Matt0110,

                         not sure l can do much to ease your mind recounting my experience of radio.Although l can still get it up, nothing comes out,at climax,  its very much a memory of the previous firework display.and a lost friend

l had six weeks of radio and noticed my output steadily drop off during that period. Given that was ten years ago l can honestly say l still mourn the loss but appreciate the fact l am still here to do it.

good luck going forward,

                                        David

Hello and thank you for posting.

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

Chemotherapy does not usually affect the ability to have an erection if it does it is usually temporary and gets better once the treatment stops or a short time afterwards. 

If you have not done so already then do let your cancer team and GP know about this. Your cancer specialist may be able to go through your cancer treatment to see if there was a possibility that it could have caused erectile problems. Your GP may also be able to go through all your medication you are are now taking to see if that could possibly affect this. Or if there could be another reason for it, remember that there can be many reasons why someone has erectile dysfunction and it might not have anything to do with the cancer treatment you had. The NHS has some useful information about this and what can be done to help in terms of treatment and support, look here 

It might also help to get some emotional support during this time for both you and your wife. The above NHS information tells you how to access for this. We also have some more information on our website that may be helpful to read, look here 

I hope this information will be helpful. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline
