- So sorry @Blossom1961. K xox
- @kmakm I think your night sweats are contagious. First time I’ve had those in over nine years and last night I had FOUR. I’ve been getting hot flushes but not the sweats, until last night.
- A snippet from The Age today.
- They did eventually contact me a few weeks ago but I was not eligible as I was under 55 and haven't had my tubes tied or ovaries removed.
- That's shocking they didn't get back to you @kmakm - that is not professional at all! :(

https://biotechdispatch.com.au/news/us-company-launches-australian-clinical-trial - OHI would do the trial in a heartbeat, have only been on tamoxifen for a month and not sure how I’m going to survive for 5years. I was already having hot flushes from stopping HRT but they are a whole new furnace level now - probably Qld humid weather not helping either
- Did anyone ever hear anything more about this? I never heard a peep from them...
- Saw this news article - certainly will be a godsend for lots
- I have sent an email. Professor Davis was on ABC Radio Melbourne this morning. I'm keen to get involved. Placebo or otherwise, anything I can do to spare anyone from this torture, I'm up for it.
