At 6 months, partners reported that cancer had a negative impact on their sexual relationship (39%\u2014somewhat negative and 12%\u2014very negative). At 12 months, this proportion increased substantially (42%\u2014somewhat negative and 29%\u2014very negative). Partners were significantly more likely to report that their sexual relationship was worse when the patient reported having surgery (P\u2009=\u20090.0045, odds ratio\u2009=\u20099.8025, 95% confidence interval 2.076\u201346.296).
