Hi

I've been on Tamoxifen since May 2024 so coming up on 2 years.  3 weeks after my lumpectomy in 2024 my partner died.  I'm 50 now but I was 48 at the time.

Lately I feel like my Tamoxifen side effects are getting worse.  My vagina is like the Nevada desert.  I've started using Yes moisturiser.  I'd like to date and don't want to  feel like that side of my life is over but I feel like intamacy would be a huge problem and how could I expect any new man to want to deal with this.  Has anyone any experience of dating etc while dealing with these issues.

  • Hi Calycanthus24

    I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on the Breast Cancer and Triple Negative Breast Cancer forums, and I also help out here if I can.  While I don't have the experience you are looking for I thought I'd reply to you to suggest that you also join the Breast Cancer forum and put your question in there as it's a busier forum. Here's the link to the Breast Cancer forum: Breast cancer forum .

    Best wishes
