Thanks for your replies. I will keep you posted. I will be going for hormone tests in early January and then have another specialist appointment with a sex therapist (Doctor) who is attached to the oncology center.
I thought that my first step would be to try the ointments, but I am not feeling very optimistic about them. I will be raising my pro-hormone replacement thoughts with her at my next appointment to get her used to the idea that I am prepared to be a risk-taker.
One of the thoughts that I had is that the hormones that are used for replacement are artificial, and therefore probably slightly different from those that your body manufactures.
The other idea that I had is that if my period had returned, I wasn't prepared to take tamoxofin anyways because of the side effects. So adding a bit of estrogen probably wouldn't make much difference.
If anyone else has any prior experience or thoughts on this topic, I would appreciate seeing what you have to say.
Looking forward to further replies,
Merridith
