THE
HAPPY DREAM
PROJECT

Sex and Cancer

 

 

A little-talked about side effect of the trauma caused by body altering surgery and exhausting treatment schedules is the devastation felt by the cancer sufferer with regards to their sexuality.

 

Many women close down emotionally following mastectomy or chemotherapy believing that they have lost their femininity, beauty and attractiveness.

 

The same can be true for men who have undergone surgery for prostate or testicular cancer, experiencing feelings that they are somehow less masculine.

 

The Happy Dream Project makes the ICASA Sexual Healing Programme available purely on a voluntary donation basis to men and women who are suffering from cancer and its effects upon their sexuality. 

 

Sexuality and cancer;

 

Sexuality and body-altering cancer related surgery;

 

Sexuality and the effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy;

 

Sexuality and the loss of a life partner through cancer.

 

ICASA trained team members who are specially committed to this Project give their gifts of surrogate partnering, mentoring and counselling to enable the Project to realise its objectives.  Additional costs are met primarily from the sales of books and publications, sponsorship, free will gifts, donations and fund raising events.
