Hello everyone, I am new to this and only wish I joined sooner <3 I finished chemo in Dec 2021 and radiation Feb 2022 so have started on Tamoxifen. Holy moly - these hot flashes are the devil! :s...

Hi @FTA,
The hot flushes are the pits! I’d feel like I was combusting every 15mins.
I got prescribed Endep 10mg which is a VERY low dose antidepressant. It really helped and had no side effects.
I slept with a small bedside fan blowing on my face in summer. I always carried a hand fan everywhere and a bottle of cold water. I’d fan my face as soon as I felt one coming on- head it off before it takes hold.
