Sammanfattning
This essay is based on a conversation I (as a nurse) had with a man a few years ago. The conversation made a great impression on me. It shows how difficult it can be for the partner to a person with cancer to cope with intimacy, and that there may be limits to sexuality in the terminal phase. The essay also shows that through a focus on sexuality nurses can help patients and their partners to recognize their fear of death and to face death. The purpose of this essay is to assist breaking down the taboo of sexual life and disease which still exists.
