Lifelong impotence and medications no longer work
I'm a pediatric cancer survivor and the treatment rendered me impotent. After never being able to get erections I talked to a doctor in my late 20s and medications worked great for several years but not anymore. First viagra stopped working. Then quadmix stopped working. My only option to ever have intercourse again is to get an implant and I can't afford it. My disappointment is bottomless and I feel extreme pain at knowing a very important part of the human experience is beyond my reach. Worst is that there are very few people I can talk to about this. Today I'm feeling very bad about it. I live as fully as I can but to be brutally honest I would have opted out of cancer treatment if I knew what life had in store for me. I know that's whiny and I should be grateful to be alive and to just accept my limitations but my pain is excruciating. Just need to vent.
