It's been several weeks since I posted, but wanted you all to know what happened after my onc referred me to a GYN oncologist. This guy told me I have the vagina of a 60-70 year old. I'm 48. He prescribed Premarin cream full dose for 2 weeks. Oh man, what a difference that made. Then, I went half dose, about 1 tablespoon, 2 times a week, for about 8 weeks. He says I'll be able to titrate it down to a fingertip application, as necessary. I can't tell you how much of a difference it made. I still use Replens, but it doesn't hurt.
Between my onc and the GYN onc, I feel like I'm in good hands. They both think if I'm going to recur, it won't be because of the estrogen cream. There are forces much greater at work.
In the meantime, I'm able to have sex with my husband with relatively no pain. Now, if I could just get a little desire going.
Oh yeah, NO UTI's or pain in my bladder for several weeks either.
Hope this helps some other "old ladies" out there.
