After cancer treatment, what should I tell my partner before having sex?

Before stripping down to your birthday suit after cancer treatment, have a talk with your partner: about your sex-related worries… about the things that make you feel self-conscious… about the reasons you've held off for so long. Talk about the solo explorations you've been taking upon your body, and about what does and does not turn you on post-treatment. Engage in some two-way, shameless flattery. It will make you feel less self-conscious about your bod, and will reassure him that you're ready for this. And as you're shedding your layers and getting to know each other's bodies all over again, remember to take your time.
