    Most women during treatment, are not inclined to be involved in sexual activity. After treatment, there is no reason not to resume a normal intimate relationship with their partner. After the effects of either surgery and/or radiation and chemotherapy have resolved, indeed, we would encourage the re-establishment of a normal adult relationship.
