dberg,
I am very happy for you - this is a huge QOL issue that is largely ignored by the oncologists who prescribe the meds that cause it. My onc agreed to let me use estrogen cream as prescribed by my gyn after she wrote him a letter and explained what my symptoms were and what it was for (at the time, she was unable to perform a proper pap smear because of the severity of my symptoms). We did weekly blood draws for a while so she could monitor my ER levels to assure her she was not boosting them to an unsafe level. They went up a bit, but then came back down, and never went about the "post meno" level. I started using a daub of Estrace every 3 days and now am out to twice per month (a Maintenance schedule). I am strongly ER+ moderately PR+, post meno and on Femara.
Hopeful
