Sex and relationship on ADT prior to RT

After an overwhelming first appointment with a rather brusque nurse, with a sidekick watching us, who I suspect was training, I left feeling totally unsupported. Since then I have found the best support possible: my own brain and commonsense, and this forum, and website. 

Since then we have moved on considerably. Bought a pump, seen GP , been prescribed Sildenafil and generally discovered our own path to a positive attitude. 

I have also found an interesting document on how health professionals should be approaching this problem. On this website. Very helpful indeed 

The Title is this: 

"Treating erectile dysfunction after radical 

radiotherapy and androgen deprivation 

therapy (ADT) for 

prostate cancer

A quick guide for health professionals: 

supporting men with erectile dysfunction"

It states treatment should be started no later than 3 to 6 months after ADT begins.
