Hello,
My mom had Grade 3 Stage 2 ovarian cancer. She had hysterectomy and it's been a year ago since her radiation. But she still deals with symptoms how have you been able to manage with Vagina dryness and vagina burning. Vagina burning she normal complains about this when she is been sitting in the car for more than 30 minutes so I'm assuming when she's in hot temperature. We live in Texas so we're now no longer in the 3 digits temperature. Also she does us vagina moisturizers that were recommended by her gynecologist. What have you used and did still have symptoms after a year.
Hi Ivett and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where hopefully it'll be spotted by someone who can help.
In the UK, when you are diagnosed with cancer, you are assigned a cancer nurse specialist (CNS) who you can contact if you have any issues relating to the the treatment. Does your mom have anyone like that assigned to her? If so she should be able to suggest something to help.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your mom's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
