Questions on bone pain and hot flashes
Hi ladies
I finished 4 DD of AC and have only had one period 1 week after first treatment. The hot flashes have started and are miserable. I am not a hot person! Give me snow and cold over sweating any day. My onc just put me on Effexor xr. It is for depression but he said it has a great effect on hot flashes. So far it is helping, but how long do hot flashes usually last? 3months or 3years?
The second question; I started Taxol and Herceptin on Monday and on Wed. started with painful leg and back pain. Not enjoying this. I just don't feel like even getting off the couch. I seemed to bounce back better on the AC. How long does the pain stay. Does it ease up any time between treatments or should I count on feeling this way until the last treatment is over?
I will thank you ahead of time for all your input. You all always seem to help me understand all this mess. Have a peaceful day, Kriss
