After breast cancer and menapause

Hey Pink LadyI am so glad someone has brought this subject to the surface as I am a bit shy in coming forward regarding this topic and my husband would be horrified that I was discussing it openly on the net but I believe this is the best place for this discussion and hopefully everyone can be open about it.I was diagnosed when I was 55 nearly 56 and I am now 57.  My libido is non existent, full stop.  My poor darling husband has the patience of a saint.  They talk about dryness but are they talking about inside or outside or both?  My husband works away for 4 weeks at a time and is only home for a short time and for him it is extremely important that we are intimate while he is home.  I have also found I have had bleeding.  I have not had a period since I had a hysterectomy 25+ years ago so you can imagine how frightening that was for him let alone me.I have an appointment with a Womens Health Centre at one of the big hospitals in Perth next Wednesday where Ihope to speak with the Clinical Nurse/Breast Nurse/Clinical Sexologist who also deals in menopausal issues  of which I am looking forward to hopefully getting some help with these and other issues.  I have been to see them before and have been given the names of a books they suggested we read which I have not got around to doing yet but plan to do so now that I am feeling well enough to be concerned about this particular issue for both my hubby and me.If there are any questions you would like asked when I see the practitioner next week.BCNA has a book called living with breast cancer and sexual wellbeing.  There is also a book called Sex Matter for Weomen. Good Loving Great Sex.  Where did my Libido Go?  Sexual Health for Women.Hopefully between us we can get some answers and some help.Lots of love, Mich xoxoxo
