I had already gone through menopause before chemo. Then during chemo they came back but were managable. Now they are back with a vengence. I'm talking sweat rolling off the face kinda of hot flashes. I get several a day and they keep me up a night. Onc told me to take vit. E, doesn't seem to help much. First I thought they were from the arimides, aromasin or the tamoxifen. But I have stopped all of these due to side effects. I am l year out from my chemo and ended herceptin in Jan. I welcome any suggestions on how to deal with these as I have none. Marjo, what are you doing for them?
