Following the success of our work with hot flushes the NCRI have asked us to consider other symptoms affecting people with breast cancer. Problems with sexuality are not uncommon following menopausal changes and so this is a natural extension to our work.
We therefore plan to follow the same model as for hot flushes and initiate work in three areas:
1. Raise awareness of the issue
2. Identify current practice in this area
3. Stimulate and support the development of new research into this area.
Please see following pages as this work proceeds.
