Re: Hot/Cold Flash - Tamox vs Herceptin

To be honest I didn't even think about it, I was so glad to be finished treatments and be able to continue on hormone therapy I really didn't mind what the side effects may be!
I did have hot flashes though for the first month or so and then they eased quite a lot as I remember but its little compared to dealing with a recurrance I think!
