I have experienced the vaginal dryness also. Onc tells it is from the chemo and now on aromasin. All of these have interfered with the production of the estrogen which causes the dryness. I have tried the k-y vaginal capsules, these helped some. There is also a product out called replense, works the same way as the k-y. Just another annoying side effect of this disease.
