I had my last period 2 weeks after my first chemo treatment. I think I was in early menopause but about a month after my last period I started getting hot flushes. At first they were more intense and annoying mainly affecting me in the early hours of the morning. But over the last six months I've noticed they are not as bad. I think as the stress of everything eases, I get a better nights sleep and generally eat sensibly I'm keeping on top of them. I do take a multivitamin, I don't drink alcohol( no real reason) I don't drink coffee anymore ( at my last chemo I was given a coffee and it made me sick and now I can't stand the smell. I was a coffee drinker) I try to walk daily, great for stress release and I try to be kind to my self. I still get flushes maybe one or two just before daylight but they're not bad now and I can cope.
I had my last chemo 15 months ago.
