Summary

On today’s show, Dr. Emily is joined by Allison K – a fan and friend of the show – to talk about how to get your sex life back after having breast cancer.

They discuss what it’s like to go through breast cancer – from diagnosis to treatment, things to ask and information to get from your doctors (because they don’t always tell you everything), and how to get back into your body and back into a pleasurable sex life. Plus, how to be supportive friends, family, and partners.
