Do you wish there was an affordable solution to rising healthcare costs? There IS! Greg and I use Christian Healthcare Ministries, a non-profit health cost sharing ministry, not insurance.

Sexuality Counselor and Contributing Expert Traci Owen discusses "the conversation we should have had" when we were diagnosed with breast cancer. Sexuality issues should have been discussed, as well as ways to minimize the effects treatment has on your lady bits.
Traci discusses vaginal hydration which can mitigate the loss of estrogen most of us experience. There are also solutions for lack of libido, and she discusses the pros and cons of each.
There is no one-size-fits all way to go, friends. As Traci tells us, "You're trying to find what will work for YOU—you have to find YOUR solution."
