Subject: side effects of Arithmidex
Date: 02/27/2008

I had early stage breast cancer. 1.2cm   Hormone positive...Lobular.. 35 rad treatments...no chemo recommended. Onco score 17. No nodes involved. Taking Arithimidex 4 months. Just started some mild hip pain, but my main concern is vaginal dryness. I am 54 and post menopausal. I bleed sometime after intercourse. Had all the necessary vaginal scans and doc said it was caused from vaginal atrophy and dryness. I am newly married and this is horrible. Gyn doc said he would not be opposed to a low dose hormonal cream but onocologist says no. I am miserable. Has anyone found anything else that works. KY is ok but short lasting. What is your opinion about low dose of Premarin or Vagifem. I do feel older on this medicine. Does anybody think this med is worth it for early stage breast cancer?  Thanks!

I would be interested in any responses you get re: vaginal dryness remedies, as I have them as well and not tried anything yet.  To start chemo soon and then will be on Arimidex after radiation.

 

thx.
