I Survived Cancer 3 Times, But It Was Sex That Sent Me To The ER
Surviving isn’t enough we need to talk about sex
Ten years without fucking.
Ten. Years.
And when it finally happens, you end up in the ER bleeding. Not exactly the happy ending a cancer survivor imagines for their first night of sex.
Modern medicine is really fucked up — it can cure your cancer three times but forgets to tell you that your vagina will get drier than the Sahara after chemotherapy.
A survivor recently shared on Buzzfeed how she discovered this the hard way: among bloody sheets at three in the morning, with a panicked new boyfriend.
Nobody expects sex to be perfect. But there’s a difference between a mediocre performance and ending up in the hospital because no one warned you that chemo would turn your vagina into a desert.
And the most ridiculous part? This happens to 9% of women after cancer. Nine percent isn’t a number we can ignore, fuck.
The medical system treats women like broken machines: they fix the broken part and send you home.

They send you to the “toy store”.
