Re: Hot/Cold Flash - Tamox vs Herceptin
Mine started mid herceptin. I finished herceptin in Nov. 2011 and still getting them. They were worse when herceptin was done but I noticed this past month they are fewer and better. They were horrible but as Tricia said better than the consequences. I would have a flash and 3 minutes later turning on my heater under my desk. The heater was on then off then on again, it was crazy. I don't know about the tamoxifen since I am on femara but my oncologist said the femara would most likely give me hot flashes. She said they may get better or I could have them for 5 years while on the drug. I am hoping they are getting better based on this last month. Good luck.
