Our Roses and Romance gift guide is perfect for the woman you love who is going through cancer and who needs a bit of help relaxing and feeling intimate again.
Sex, love and relationships are an important part of life. That fact doesn’t change when you’re living with cancer.
If you have a wife or partner who is dealing with cancer, we’ve put together a collection of our most romantic gifts for you to choose from. Many cancer treatments can cause side effects that are similar to menopause (and some treatments can bring on menopause quickly). Dryness, low libido and general aches and pains can make sex and intimacy more challenging. Thankfully, there are plenty of practical ways that you can ease your symptoms and side effects and get back to intimacy in ways you enjoy!
The gifts in our Live Better With Cancer Gift Guides are all designed to make the cancer experience easier, no matter what type of cancer your loved one is living with.
