Re: When do the hot flashes stop????!!
I feel your pain or should I say heat. In all honesty mine have almost stopped. I had them throughout chemo/Herceptin and for about 18 months while on Tamoxifin but for the past several months they have really slowed down and now I go a whole day without having any...yippee! I'm not sure how long it will take for yours to slow down or stop. I asked my onclologist about it several times and he didn't have an answer for me either. Thought of stopping Tamoxifin and trying something else but because of my age he really wanted me to stay on the Tamoxifin longer before switching to something else. Now I'm gald I did. Hope they get better for you. Every time I would feel one starting to come on I would try to remind myself that at least I am here and this is a small price to pay for NED!
