Anyone out there dealing with vaginal atrophy following breast cancer treatment?

Intercourse is painful and burns terribly. I had breast cancer in 1999 and took Tomoxafine and now Femera, which is causing the problem. My oncologist does not approve but will give me a vagi ring if I insist...though it will introduce small amounts of estrogen into my system and present a very small possibility of the breast cancer returning. Anyone out there face the same situation? I am 58, have a 42 yr old boyfriend who I have been with for 9 years and it is causing problems, thought he says evertyhing is all right, admits he is afraid of hurting me This whole thing must not be pleasant for him and is certainly a problem for me. Any suggestions?

Answers:
I think you can get creams, that will help you.creams with the estrogen in them..this might be the answer you are looking for..http://www.susanlovemd.com/living/i_2_2_1_3.htm..minimal would probably work..or get some hot feeling ones at the drug store.I am sure that will help you..and a little glass of vino will help you relax.and you go girl lol.

Have you tried KY jelly? That would be my first try.
