Hi,

I experienced similar hot flashes while going through chemo (like every 20 minutes and I'm NOT kidding). Was really hell. I'd often say that part was wayyyyy worse than the actual chemo. About 2 months after chemo ended hot flashes also decreased CONSIDERABLY and eventually stopped all together. Just recently they have kicked in again. Not nearly as bad or as often but a "pain" all the same. However, I'm the type of personality that I'll just live with them and let them run their course. Eventually they will stop. I don't like take any "drugs" of any kind so feel better just dealing with them naturally.

Hope they let up soon.

A "chilly" hug I send.
