Hi! How many sessions of radiation did you undergo, mine was over 4 weeks
. I had a small area that looked as though the breast had been in the sun on its own, a steroid cream was prescribed.
Many oncologists say 'no way, no HRT' however: quality of Life is important. If a women isn't allowed HRT after treatment, why not remove the breasts completely? This of course has to be a personal decision depending on the relationship that a woman has with her breasts.
Sometimes vaginal atrophy can cause bleeding and when anything is inserted, it can aggravate very thin layers of skin internally. I would ring the Oncologist Secretary and ask the question, VA can be treated successfully with little uptake in the body. Where was the pain situated?
U R not alone. It's easy days yet, how do you feel overall? Has the shock worn off for example?
There is the thought that once we have had negative follow ups that HRT can be restarted. MayB keep a diary of your symptoms to chart progress.
