I finished chemo in January. I have had dbl mastectomy and hyterectomy since then, so my husband and I haven't had much sex in the past year. Every time we have tried, I have a lot of pain. (it is not from the hysterectomy) Does the chemo change how everything feels? I also just had a 5 day stay at the hospital for MRSA Staph infection and I was on 3 different IV antibiotics and was sent home on antibiotics for two weeks, so I knpw I don't have an infection. It just hurts, and I hate to go to another DR for anything else right now.  I am just ready to feel normal again..:(

Anyone else have problems?

    ddart....You should check out the "MOJO" thread here. Although it has four years worth of discussion, the sexual issues that occur after our BC treatments is precisely its topic. Posters have recommended everything from various lubes to the Estring to help with dryness and pain that accompanies it.
