Vaginal atrophy. Why didn't someone warn me?

@Vallerina Phew where to start.I too have had aregular mammogram since 40 and am 63.I went thru menopause first time at 40 and was on HRT. I seem to remember there were other natural products ladies used at the time with success for hot flushes BUT I would not use them unless you checked the site I gave you eg Promensil ( which I think is red clover ?)wild yam cream .My immediate advice to you is to keep good written records of all that has happened and find a good oncologist.Also get the bcna My Journey Kit and read it carefully esp useful for questions you can ask the medical staff about your treatment/ health - as scarey as it is you might need to be more proactive about your healthcare.In SA where I live BreastScreenSA once you are diagnosed will no longer see you for 5 years as your care is handed over to oncologists who provide treatment and monitor your health .I am not medical but I think you need more experienced support than just your gp - my gp is great for back up but my oncologist is the one I go to when worried
