Breast cancer doesn't just affect your breast for God sake it affects everything in, on & around your body. It affects your family, your caretakers and your friends. If we can't talk to each other about vaginal dryness then who can you talk to about it. Yes sex is affected after breast cancer but that doesn't mean you should stop having it. Get creative!!! If you have survived breast cancer you can do anything & I mean anything!!
Come on ladies these are facts about the affects of breast cancer are only gonna tell a little about the trials & tribulations of breast cancer. By the way I believe vaginal dryness is not exclusive to breast cancer patients!!!! If you happened to talk about sex at all with your close friends I am sure that is why they advertise KY Jelly on TV.
I am amazed when people get offended because they always have the option of turning off the remote, change the channel Ect. Everyone on this blog is in different stages of the breast cancer process. The reality of breast cancer, medication side effects, emotional & physichal changes can't be given in the perfect incriments for each individual and where they are in this process.
I would suggest out of respect for people who are not ready to read certain items that under subject you give the subject & warning on the same line so they are forwarned this particular post might not be for them.
Please ladies don't sweat what you do not control it will only make you old before your time.
