[KRISS]

Thanks Ladies for all the info. I guess the hot flashes are just something I have to learn to live with to a point. The Effexor seems to help and I will talk to my onc about weening myself off when the time comes. I think I am benifitting from the anti depressant part as well. The last several months have been rough. Dad died in April, husband dx with thyroid cancer in june, uncle and grandfather died in Oct. and I was Dx in Dec. Never felt like I had a chance to catch my breath and now I seem to be smiling a little. So I think I will continue to take it for a while.
I will also try the B6 for this round. When I had my weekly Herceptin on Monday Onc said he would also give me something more for the pain. But I'll see how the B6 works first. Once again thank you all. I can always count on all of you, Kriss
