I am a cross over from the anal cancer board. Which is very supportive and symptom focused. Many very brave women discuss everything from vaginal stenosis to painful intercourse. A few men discuss erectile dsyfunction, no one has discussed anal sex after recovering from anal cancer. Is it possible, or am I forever forbidden from bottoming again? I've basically just started treatment, 3 weeks in, another 4 to go. But is there hope, I have a very caring and supportive partner? Both men and women often have anal and vaginal stenosis, women usually use progressive vaginal dilators. No one has discussed this taboo topic of anal sex after recovery. |

I'm from the anal cancer board as well and recognize your name from there. I've wondered the same thing and actually thought about asking you. I couldn't figure out how to send a private email though, and I wouldn't post that question for all to see on that board.
My best friend's partner is a doctor (general practitioner). I'll tell my friend to ask. He might know something.
You mention you have a very caring and supportive partner. That is wonderful. I don't have a partner, and now I wonder more than ever if I will have one. Like you also, I'm HIV+ and now have anal cancer. I'm trying my best, but I feel like "damaged goods." Note too that gay men don't seem to post much on this board. I posted something about anal cancer and no one responded.
Let me know if you find out anything and I will do the same. All the best.

I wasn't sure if you knew that you have to "friend" that person first to send them a message. Once they have seen that you requested the friends, you can then private message them by going to your "CSN HOME" above and see under "Discussion Board" the mail options.
