The ultimate goal of the treatment of any cancer is to get you back to a normal you, or at least as closest to that as possible. One of the main and most overlooked problems is the one related to sexuality, especially in women fighting breast cancer. Patients have to deal sometimes with chemotherapy, which can be a libido killer, breast surgery, which can end up causing changes in their selfbody image and, anti-hormonal therapy that can affect the vaginal tissue causing thinning and dryness leading to uncomfortable and painful intercourse. The following are three questions that are often raised in my practice. I hope these answers can shed some light on the subject.

FROM MARK IDEAUS | INTERVIEWED BY CINDY KALEH

Mark Ideus was diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer that metastasized to his lungs in 2003. He never thought the journey he was about to encounter would lead him to Oncology Consultants’ oncologist, Dr. Anna Belcheva. When his kidney was removed in 2003, dedicated kidney cancer treatments were not available. Mark went through a very difficult time undergoing five experimental treatments before he was given less than one year to live. He began his research and contacted a pharmaceutical company to try another experimental drug. The only oncology group who was participating in the nationwide clinical trial was Onclogy Consultants in Houston, TX. He then met with Dr. Belcheva who started his new journey. Mark‘s comments about Dr. Belcheva flowed as we talked. He said; ”The personal care of this physician and the staff was nothing he had ever experienced from any other oncologists.” Dr. Belcheva’s knowledge and her responsiveness to his needs as a cancer patient grew a bond between them that is still stronger than ever today.
