Yes I have returned with a question..........first for those that do not remember...........I had breast cancer a year ago, had a lumpectomy, took 3 surgeries to get it all, 8 nodes removed, 2 had cancer, 30 rad treatments,finished those in January. Have been on the Arimidex for 6 months..........have daily little hot flashes and some joint pain. Now......my question...........I realize these hormone blockers cause vaginal dryness but do they or can they cause some slight vaginal bleeding during/after sex? And intercourse is painful? I think this is normal with these pills but anyone have a thought? Gees, that's embarassing.
Thank you !

This was just a new question for me and has only happened this one time. I will check out the resources you suggested and will talk to my doctor's when I return for my check up in a couple of months. Other than that my only complaints are thousands of little hot flashes, some fatique for I am still tired and more joint pain. But I am managing these things as I feel I have no choice but to take the pill for 4 1/2 more years.Good news is I am losing weight !! 2 months going and dropped 18 lbs !!
Thanks again for the reply. I can always count on you !
