When do the hot flashes stop????!!
Okay, so I think I am going crazy now! I have made it through all the chemo side effects and my body is starting to feel normal again except for the dreadful hot flashes I am having!! I had them when I went through chemo and thought they would go away after my last Taxol in June but they are still wreaking havoc on me! They come and go almost every hour of the day and it's really becoming a nuisance. It's embarrassing when I start ripping my clothes off in public! (Little dramatization)
Anyone experiencing hot flashes while on Herceptin or Tamoxifen??
