I would like to hear from anyone who has had chemo/stem trans and am curious if they had an active sex life before have they got it back. I don’t want to think that there’s no hope for me because of this unfortunate circumstance although I do understand how lucky I am…in the loosest term 🙂. Because it’s not just me, it also affects my wife.
I do think what you have said..macklebae is probably correct though unfortunately. And thankyou for replying!

Hi Rachel,
Yes I’ve made my decision and it’s to go with a 2nd SCT but I wouldn’t have been able to make that decision without the help of people on this forum and obviously my Drs.
I’m not due to go in until the 24th so am still quite nervous so was pleased to recieve your reply so thank you. I’m sure all will be good.

Thx again
DARREN

Hello Katz, as the other have said it is such a hard decision and one that I think age does have a big part to play in. I’ve had one sct and then had DVD now I had to make the decision which I wanted and I looked to this forum for advice too as they are all so helpful. All I can say is as tough as I know the 2nd sct will be and the recovery period long I know that if I get through that at my age 55 It should be worthwhile. Maybe that may help you decide. All the best with your decision.
Just to add I believe sct will give your husband a more normal life and no side effects it just puts his body through intense stress which your consultant would explain fully and wouldn’t recommend if he didn’t think your husband could take.
Best wishes
Darren

Hi David
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thx for the reply. I’m finding that yes it is a life changer and it makes you re-evaluate your priorities. Although I’m in the early days of treatment I’m already finding how it affects everyone, fam and friends especially.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>It’s good to have these support forums with everyone to speak to as it helps to understand it all 1st hand.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thx again</p>
