How To Treat Vaginal Dryness In An Elderly Woman With Breast Cancer?

Hi I m a 68 year old woman and I suffer from vaginal dryness. I had breast cancer and cannot use any estrogen creams, etc. Now I am experiencing yeast infection that I have treated with monistat...why is this happening...? Is it a common malady at my age?
