Hi
Its very nice that you have successfully got treted of colon cancer. It would have been better if you had mentioned what was the location of your cancer in the colon - like was it proximal colon or distal rectal cancer. Also whether radiotherapy was used or not. Because radiotherapy may cause sexual problems after a year of treatment completion. Sometimes because of surgery or chemotherapy may cause some problem. The exact type of problem - whether psychological, erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction has to be quantified and qualified for proper treatment. Its better you visit your treating surgeon and also a urologist. All the best.
