Premarin Cream

[von4860]

I have estrogen positive tumor.  I am on chemo now and will then go on tamofoxin (spelling?)  I was concerned that the absence of hormones would afffect my sexual drive.  I was told not to take any herbal agents, soy etc.  The physician did say that premarin vaginal cream 3 x per week would be okay.  I am concerned.  I have been told allot of different things.  Do I risk taking the cream?  Is it absorbed just locally?  What is your suggestion.  Betty v

Thank you for asking that question.  I need to use that cream or I get so dry that it actually hurts and feels like a bladder infection.  I am very releaved to hear that your doc said it was ok.  I am going to the Oncologist in a week and am going to ask that question too.  But, armed with the facts I hear from you guys I feel better.

I know that the cream is often approved for use. Since your Dr. said it was OK then I would be comfortable using it as prescribed. If the Dr. was someone other than your Oncologist then I would ck. with him/her about it also    Regards ....
