Expert Answers
There are actually a growing number of resources available for both male and female survivors. The American Cancer Society offers a lot of information (hard copy booklet or on line http://www.cancer.org) as does the Lance Armstrong Foundationhttp://www.livestrong.org. There are also numerous books available such as Dr. Leslie Schover’s book Sexuality and Fertility after Cancer as well as the series of books about sex and cancer by Dr. Anne Katz (http://drannekatz.com). Fortunately, there is growing interest in this topic and several medical centers are now also beginning to offer clinical resources for cancer survivors. Also several professional organizations such as the Society for Sex Therapy and Research (www.sstar.net) and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (http://www.isswsh.org) also offer listings of providers that are knowledgeable in this area on their websites.
