Re: Dating after cancer
Europa, thank you for "opening up" a subject that we all can relate to. And in such an entertaining way! You are fortunate to have such a frank and helpful doctor too I am considerably older than you. Last time I saw my young gyn he said" I would hate to be your urethra!" He consulted with my onc and they agreed that a small use of topical estrogen cream would be okay to use
Keep us posted on your progress. And keep the faith!
