Well done on completing your chemo. It takes a brave woman to go through chemo with all its nasty's. As for Tamoxifen you may be one of the lucky ones who doesn't suffer from the side effects.There is not much you can do to get rid of the flushes but you can reduce a bit of the intensity. I have been on them since August along with Zoladex injections and the hot sweats and hot/cold flushes are just the pits. I was getting them every 10-20 mins full on and waking up several times throughout the night in a pool of water at the beginning but i have been taking gabapentin and although i still am getting them it has reduced the intensity. You build up the quantity until the effects die down. I am on 4 per day but need to still have more yet. There is another one people have commented on and thats Endep . It is a anti-depressant. Good luck with the rest of your journey and have a happy and healthy New Year.... Cheers Jo xx
