Nice to meet you, Madge!

I too went to consult an endocrinologist about these things. I was.... very definite, shall we say? about wanting to know why oncologists do not prepare women for the sexuality issues that are a direct result of chemotherapy for a lot of us, and why no endocrinologists are involved in our treatment plans and discussions so that we would be able to have genuine INFORMED CONSENT.

She too said endocrinologists are "not generally trained in that area". It appears the endocrinology training programs in colleges don't seem to think it is relevant?!
