I do not take Black Cohosh because I am triple positive and it is suggested that it can raise estrogen levels. I do take evening primrose 1300mg daily as it is has been shown to increase the effectiveness of Herceptin and to prevent Herceptin resistance. When I discontinue the Herceptin I am going to have to do some research regarding the Primrose, but for now I will continue it. I have hotflashes throughout the day and night, but not as bad as some women. I loved Andi's mention of turtlenecks. I was always cold before B.C. Last year I lived in my multitude of turtlenecks and wool sweaters. Boy, not this year! I just cannot stand turtlenecks or heavy sweaters! Right now I am thanking God for whomever invented air conditioning!
