So many of you have not read my post on my unusual side effects from Tamoxifen (if you care to read, it's pretty funny, search "the Queen of weird side effects).
In the past my oncologist never allowed me to get a low level estrogen cream with the fear that it may trigger something far worse than what I have been dealing with. For the last year or so, I have had to manually rip my skin from permanently shutting the doors to my sex life....if you catch my drift. It's called Vaginal Atrophy...look it up, it's no joke. It's painful, yes. And on top of that the damn Tamoxifen makes me not lust after much of anything. And I've tried to ignite that department but Tamoxifen says nope. So at the age of 39 I have not had sex in .....hmmmmm....well a very long long time. I use to get butterflies and a little tickled when a yummy looking man would walk by. Now, I could care less. I get more excited about a cup of tea and a nice recipe book to review. I look like a young lady on the outside but have the sex drive of a 95 year old.
That is all changing. Praise Jesus. My new oncologist has given me the golden ticket, a prescription for estrogen cream. And I am going to marinate in it. I can't wait to dust off my "toys" and get my mojo back. This is the best day ever.
So bring on the butterflies, the tingles of lust and the giddiness of being sexy and fabulous.

New life news! Love it! Also, there is a new oil for the purpose made from hemp. Your friend, Stephanie, knows about it...: )

Welcome back the tingles :-). I used the estring my first go round when I was on tamoxifen. My oncologist gave it the okay and it definitely helped. Almost felt normal again.

A little bit of estrogen goes a long way. When I was first diagnosed in 2000, I was on HRT. When my surgeon told me that the tumor was cancer, my first regret was giving up my hormones. Who knew?

Have fun!

I just stopped Arimidex in early June and already feel my mojo returning after eight years, now if I could just get these bones to stop aching maybe I could do something about it lol:)
