Prostate Cancer and Pregnancy - Question and Answers

Q: A woman who wants to get pregnant and have another child recently asked, “If my husband had prostate cancer and surgery, can we still have a baby? 

A: The question is quite pertinent, since of 200,000 newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients each year, one-third are Boomers, namely men between age 45 and 64. A number of Boomers, and some Seniors as well, may include those who are married to younger women who are still in their child-bearing years at the time their husbands get prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer Wives and Partners - A Bill of Rights

I recently came across a "Bill of Rights for Wives and Partners" of prostate cancer patients. It was written by a wife of a prostate cancer survivor and is reproduced below with her permission. She is the editor of www.hisprostatecancer.com, an information and support website specifically for wives and partners of men with prostate cancer.

A Woman's Thanks for Sex Therapist Report

From: Amy

The free report you wrote on the reasons for going to a sex therapist for help with Erectile Dysfunction associated with Prostate Cancer is very helpful to those of us who are dealing with this issue. It also de-mystifies the idea of what a sex therapist actually does. This article should also be helpful to men (and their partners) who have ED for other reasons. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It tends to be a "hush-hush" subject, that even doctors prefer not to discuss, other than in pure medical terms.
