  • Hello Colinmaureen and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you've been having getting an erection since finishing your cancer treatment. This must be very frustrating.

    I hope the Viagra is successful but we have some information about other treatments for erection problems you may want to have a look at as well.

    Hopefully some of our members who have encountered similar issues will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    Kind regards,
