Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll Part 1: Dr. Saketh R. Guntupalli on Intimacy and Love After Cancer
Show Notes

Welcome to "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll," a multi-part series where we talk with experts about three topics that often do not get discussed during treatment.

To begin with, we're talking about sex and sexuality after cancer, which our participants tell us are very important topics for them but that they struggle to discuss with others. We’re dedicating two episodes to approach the subject of Sex and Cancer with two thought leaders who share their experience and the guidance they’ve given their patients.  

In Part 1, we chat with Dr. Saketh R. Guntupalli, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology and in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Colorado, and the coauthor of "Sex and Cancer: Intimacy, Romance, and Love after Diagnosis and Treatment." Dr. Guntupalli offers his experience and perspective as a physician who realized that his patients were in need of support and answers as they sought to establish a new normal in their sex lives after cancer.
