I just went back and read the previous discussion, so now I'm up to speed! I actually did go through menopause before bc, so had time to "adjust" before chemo, but never lost my sex drive until after tx...so even with natural menopause I obviously still had hormone production going on which chemo has shut down. I intend to take this up with my PCP again after I finish the vaccine trial, as we are also tracking my bone density and he said it would also help maintain the bones.
I agree about the lubricants, they're more sticky than not, but we like coconut oil, get Hane's or another all natural type. It's solid in the container but melts immediately on contact with body heat.
My PCP has been great about encouraging me to experiement as long as my onc agrees it's safe, he feels it's an important issue but doesn't have much data to go on. We've talked about oral testostorone or the cream I mentiioned in my other post. I feel the cream is safer given the unknowns about oral dosages for us.
Love, Lolly
