Hi, I am in a similar predicament regarding Vagifem, I was prescribed it by my GP quite a few years ago after trying other products that I was not able to tolerate and was desperately sore and uncomfortable. My GP did ask my then oncologist advice on the matter and he gave the go ahead as he felt the risk was very small compared to quality of life. I was first dx with BC at 49 ER + and chemo completely stopped my periods. I am now 63 and recently dx with sbc pleura,lung and bones. I have stopped using Vagifem since this dx and the pain and discomfort has returned. Currently using Yes water based lubricant applicators nightly for the past week and although it is a little more comfortable I am constantly aware of the soreness and discomfort. I am seriously now considering whether to go back on Vagifem as it seems that it was the only product that worked for me. I will obviously have to discuss this with my oncologist as I am now also on Exemestane hormone therapy to treat the cancer. If she says that she will not prescribe or advise, I don't know where to go or what to try next, with this very uncomfortable problem. Any advice gratefully received. Xx Ann xx
