    That is a shame, @smokie08  -  maybe contact them to see if they are aware of any trials on Chemo Induced Hot Flushes?

    Fingers crossed xxx  All the best

    I would put my hand up for a trial into hot flushes and sweats  but as not on tamoxifen etc I don't think I would be accepted.  This chemo induced menopause is the pits!!!! I wake up every 2 hours sweating  and have at least 6/7 flushes in the day spare a thought for me in a few weeks when I am stuck on a plane for 24 hrs  having flushes and sweats!!!! 😡😓😫

    Getting rid of those bloody hot flushes would be a start ..... I wonder if you can point some of your medical people towards the trial, as a suggestion for Victoria as well?  xx  Good luck!
