Ali’s story | We need to talk about sex and cancer | Macmillan x @LovehoneyOfficial [Video]

Ali was in her late 30s when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2015. She is now 46 and in remission.

Not being able to have open conversations about sex and relationships after her diagnosis had a huge impact on her well-being. Now, she’s sharing her story in the hope of helping others.

As leading voices on cancer and sexual wellness, Macmillan and @LovehoneyOfficial are so proud to be partnering together to amplify Ali and others’ stories.

Everyone deserves sexual happiness, and we need to be able to have open and honest conversations about the impact that a cancer diagnosis can have while offering support, ideas and advice along the way.

Please join us in applauding Ali for how bravely she shared her story. We hope, together, we can address the devastating impact cancer can have on us and our loved ones.
