How the Sexual Side Effects of Cancer Treatment Led to Entwine Dating with Anna Leonarda
Anna is a 9-year breast cancer survivor who resides in Chicago, IL with her two children. For most of her adult life, Anna struggled with painful intercourse. The side effects from her cancer treatment only exacerbated her symptoms. After her divorce, she wondered how she would enter the dating world with these sexual limitations. She found she wasn't alone and decided to create a dating app that takes sexual expectations out of dating.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Entwine is a free dating app for those who may not be able to, or prefer not to, fully engage in intercourse.
2. Vaginismus causes a woman’s pelvic floor muscles to contract at the attempt of vaginal penetration, making the vagina narrower and tighter. Learn more. https://www.issm.info/sexual-health-qa/what-is-vaginismus
3. There are 30 million men in the U.S. that have erectile dysfunction.

🦄About Me:
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11-years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal health care advocate.
