    I feel so much better.  I just spoke with my Gyno and she told me what she wants to do is put me on a minimal vaginal based estrogen cream taken twice weekly in suppository form, which will help fortify the vaginal walls, and plump them up again so that sex is not painful.  She still wants me to use a lubricant also, but the prescription she's giving will take care of the vaginal atrophy.  She said she does not want to give me anything with progesterone or testosterone in it, just this estrogen suppository which is extremely minimal and will be ok to take with BC.  So I will happily do what she says and get back to making woopi with my DH Lipstick

    I am 59 (56 at diagnosis), finished with all treatment except Tamoxifen (3 full years left!).  This year my gyno prescribed Estrace hormonal, vaginal cream after getting an OK from my onc. The gyno was concerned because the vaginal tissues were white (they are supposed to be pink) and paper-thin. The cream hardy leaks any hormones to the body but helps with the extreme dryness that results not having ovaries, not having HRT, being on Tamox, etc.  I think it helps and I also think CRISCT is right.."Use it or lose it."  I'll be 60 in Feb 2010 and I am not ready to give up on my sex life with my hubby.  If I had never had bc I would not consider not having a good sex life, so I refuse to let bc take any more away from me than it already has.  A glass of wine, some laughter, kisses, loving looks...yeah, ladies, it is still wonderful at 60!
