I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in my bones 18 months ago.
I take Anastrozole and have monthly denosumab injections.
I am 65 and my husband of 40 years is 72 and wonderfully supportive all the way through my cancer journey which started 14 years ago with breast cancer and a mastectomy
My biggest worry now is I can't be intimate with my husband. We have tried lubricants but they burn and make me very sore. I know there are other ways to satisfy my husband but i am so tired all i want to do in bed is sleep.
My husband means the world to me and I dont want to lose him. Can anyone advise how they have managed this situation please
