Diagnosed?: If you've been Dx'd w/ this cancer - do speak to your Dr about the illness and what to expect as well as all Tx possibilities. The relation to hormones is usually 'growth' hormone, not sex hormone and it's part of the cause - not an effect. Being ill can definitely lower libido, cause fatigue and the less activity can reduce muscle tone. Discuss it all w/ Dr ASAP. Best wishes!
