Post Cancer Hoe Phase - noun (slang)

A period of time following cancer treatment, wherein the patient takes excessive pleasure in sexual activities, often with several different partners. PCHP mostly occurs after treatment, but some "hoes" experience the phenomenon already during treatment.

Reasons for the PCHP to kick in include but are not limited to: an IDGAF attitude after staring death in the eye, sexual organs no longer being painfully impacted by treatment, overcompensating for previous months of drug-induced neutropenia and loss of sexual drive.

The term gained popularity thanks to @thecancerpatient, an anonymous individual behind an online community of cancer patients who find support in exchanging about cancer related topics such as the PCHP and dealing with cancer-muggles.
