excessive discharge, no odor, no cycle due to chemotherapy age 40

[Cookie619]

I have been to the gyno and tested for every STD out there, including HIV, all neg. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 03/30/10 and have had both breast removed. This was followed by chemo which put me into menopause.I have been done with the treatments for about 4 months, but I haven't had a menstral cycle for about 6 months, I have severe hot flashes, im tired , have trouble sleeping at times, weight gain of 12 lbs in 6 months, also dry skin, and fricken facial hair! all over my face like peach fuzz but worse, this makes me very self conscious, I try to not get close enough to anyone so they will not see this, I think I may need to get it permanently removed. I have so much discharge, that I wonder if its urine leakage, it is very embarrasing as my pubic hairs are glued together most of the time from this stuff. I also have lower back pain, joint pain, and mild menstral-type cramping. Sometimes the discharge looks to be slightly blood-tinged. I am hoping my menstral will return and this menopause is temporary...I also have a problem with dryness when I should be getting sexually aroused, although its so sloppy wet most of the time that we don't have to use lube. I still have a very good sex drive and I am in a four year committed relationship. I am trying to stay positive, but all these things are a problem. I used to be a very attractive woman, but loosing all my hair, and breasts along with all these other things is really taking a toll on me.

I'm very sorry to hear of your breast cancer, but I know more women who survive than not. Treatments have made unbelievable strides in the past few years........So stay strong, stay positive and fight like a wildcat!

As for all your other questions and concerns, I feel the best thing would be for you to talk with the folks at the cancer center you're associated with. You are not the only woman who has been affected by chemo and radiation and surely they must have the answers that I totally lack.

I want you, RIGHT NOW, to stop saying "I USED to be a very attractive woman but losing my hair and my breasts has taken a toll............."
You are still...........and will remain.........a very attractive woman! Hair and breasts are not what make us sexy and I think YOUR partner has found that out for themselves!  :)

I wish I could have been more helpful, but your answers need to come from women who know, have been where you are and can guide you down this path with real knowledge.

I wish you peace and happiness and health
