Hi Beppie. Sorry to hear about your sister. Tamoxifen and Aramatose Inhibitors give us a much greater chance of long term survival if able to tolerate them. The downside is the obvious anti-estrogen affects. You seem to be able to tolerate the drugs well so hubby needs to understand what is happening to you and what the long term benefits will be for both of you.
We are forever hopeful the medical profession will see this as a major issue and come up with some better options for us. In the meantime your oncologist should be able to tell you how long after finishing the drugs you can start using estrogen pessaries which is the best treatment for dry vagina and vaginal atrophy. Really, once the vagina regains it's normal function and it is no longer painful libido may just come back as well. Just trying to offer some hope. Suexx
