no satisfaction hi, i’ve just come back from my GP and she still has no answers, i’m on zolodex (once again) after a gap of nearly 2yrs, 4yrs of tamoxifen, i thought after stopping zolodex for over a year things would ease but their has been no change, now i have to go back on it, i still have’nt been able to have my smear done because of the excruciating pain, KY does nothing, has anyone got any easy answers, getting desperate!!

Hi Starveld,

there has been quite a lot of discussion on this subject. This is one link

breastcancercare.org.uk/content.php?
page_id=1936&forum_cmd=24&forum_id=17&
topic=1690&post=12636#12636

or you could do a search (at the top of the page on the right) for words like sylk or replens and that should bring up a few of the previous posts.

Hi again,

I have just spotted a fairly lengthy thread just below this one 'Vaginal Dryness/painful sex.

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for that, its made me feel a bit better, I just feel my own GP and the consultants at the hospital just don’t seem to have any answers and i’ve been feeling really isolated lately.
I’m probably going to sound really selfish but it’s good to know others are having similar symptoms as me. I’ve not met anyone else on Zolodex and I did’nt realise how hard it was going to be and permanant !
I have to say this site is so helpful and reassuring I only wish I had found it 4yrs ago when I was first diagnosed with BC, having to go through my darker days on my own and not having anyone understand how I feel was and is so hard. I thought it would get easier, but you never really get your life back…I’m just not feeling very positive/good at the moment, I’m sure tomorrow will be a better day.
thanks Dawn
