Embarrassing :( ... the relationship with K-Y jelly SILK and Tamoxifan
Happy Mother's Day! Hope you all had a lovely lovely day. Lots of love and beautiful with thoes who are important for you to stay health, happy, beautiful and brave. (Sexy too)
I've been Tamoxifan since I finished radiation May 2010. After many rounds of constipation as the side-effect of surgeries, dealing with dryness, rash & breakage and itch around the panty area. I obviously thought it was the norm. After few months, I am so sick of the itch & never healing rash scar. I recently learnt that there is a big relationship with Tamoxifan & K-Y jelly for thoes who is travelling the Beyound-Chemo journey. Well, my lovely gynecologist has directed me to a temporary use of estrogen cream which is currently out-of-stock for few months now, & K-Y jelly SILK product. I was encouraged to use the product for couple of reasons ... you know what I mean !!!
Here is some interesting reading found with my Google Re-Search "K-Y jelly and Tamoxifan"
