Thanks for your reply Moira,,,just seems odd to be going through the flushes again. I know women get them while taking hormone type drugs as part of their treatment i had my operation nearly 6 weeks ago and haven't had any other treatment yet.My first round with bc back in 99 resulted in a mastectomy on my left side with no other treatment required, I t still took another 6 years before my menopause started.It finished about a year ago.Now it's back.I will take your advise and just phone up a breast nurse .I have had some nursing experience so I guess it's a bit of the "little information " is dangerous as i am imagining all kinds of things.Cheers and thanks again.
