Just prior to this last episode of IDC, I was using Premarin vaginal cream sparingly. It worked WONDERS!!! My former oncologist and gyn felt it was safe to do so with the small amt of cream used and the benefits for me and my husband. I was really uncomforatable with sexual relations prior to the cream. Then I had this last episode of IDC and since my tumor was ER+, my oncologist recommends I stay away from all forms of estrogen supplements. He has suggested I consult my gyn and look at nonhormonal options such as Replens, astroglide, or testosterone cream. I have not consulted my gyn yet about this.

I don't know if it was coincidental, but it was after using the premarin vaginal cream for 2 - 3 months did I discover the calcifications on my mammogram which turned out to be positive for bc.
