My husband suffered from testicular cancer last year and had to have a testicle removed and had 4 cycles of chemo but he feels like I don't care about him as I don't talk about it but I don't know how to talk about it and it don't help that I'm very horny all the time anyone with any ideas

We can not tell you how "YOUR" husband or even how you feel. People will all feel different, some will have fear of more cancer, or dying, others may feel less "manly" for having a testicle removed.

Is it effecting your romance or sex life ?

Have you two sit down and talked about it ?

Are you and your husband in any sort of coping therapy for his post op?

I can't speak on this from first hand experience, but I imagine that removals-especially of certain sex organs-require certain coping and therapy.

Hopefully someone else with more experience can speak to what it means when a man has a testicle removed-hormonally and emotionally.

Talk to him, has he talked to his doctor about any performance problems ?

I don't exactly think it performance problems it's the fact that he says he is always tired but he makes himself tired he stays up every night till early hours in the morning on the odd occasion that we do have sex its good but I'm lucky if I get it 3 times a year and that started before he had cancer so I'm wondering if its something to do with me to why he don't want sex
