Anon, you are very lucky and have a wonderful attitude. My problem is that after eight years of this mess I'm tired of it. When I exert myself, vaccuming, washing floors, yard work I don't just sweat. I don't mind normal sweat when I am physically active. But this is five minutes with the vaccum and I am burning up and have this awful clostrophobic feeling. I also get anxious. Perhaps because I am feeling physically awful. I do have a good run of days now, about 4-5 with almost no hot flashes at all. And then when I am all happy about it, kaboom. They're back....big time. And according to my hubby, my moods are pretty awful also. Since it's been eight years since the cancer and the start of all this menopause business due to chemo, I am sure he is not linking things together anymore. You know, gosh you were sick a long time ago. What's that got to do with the fight you picked this time. And I do pick fights. I never, and I mean never even raised my voice to my husband before. Now after 30 years I am letting it ALL come out. Poor man. He is so good to me. Gets me whatever I want. Within reason of course. But I am still a b_tch sometimes. I try to make up for it. But I'm in menopause.....who wants sex? Not me. No interest, no desire, yes pain. Poor man. I am thinking Breast Cancer or not, I am going to try something. Most likely through a holistic practice. My oncologist might give me like a vaginal cream short term. Or he'll tell me to get my GYN to order it. And then he won't bother to call her. She wants to talk to him first.AAAGGGGG. I am only 57, I have many good sex years ahead of me. I would like to not be robbed of those years due to CANCER ER+/PR +. I will eat soy up the wazoo with flax seed overflowing....... Any ideas from the cyber world out there???? Val
