Ok, I'm not your doctor so I can't give you advice. Hiprex can be useful but there are some cases where it's not used . I have heard Replens vaginal moisturiser is good - and safe for all.
Definitely ask to see a Gynaecologist (long wait in public so ask early) and get some tailored advice! Another person could be a Women's Health Specialist GP - In Qld we have 'True Relationships' GPs with an interest in women's health not just family planning. And check with your Oncologist about Ovestin as it may solve all the above probs.
