Hot Flushes!

Hello ladies, Hot flushes are the pits and the crawling on your skin that goes on is horrible. One thing I did notice though was I got the crawling on my mastectomy side which in a warped way made me happy after having numbness for so long, go figure that one!! My hot flushes are not part of treatment just part of being a woman. I have done the stopping caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods and it does help but sometimes I cave in and have a curry and a glass of wine. Sometimes we have to fall off the bandwagon we deserve it :) I have struggled quite a bit with self image, confidence and sexuality following my mastectomy. I don't really have any answers or solutions. It is not always easy to discuss these things with your partner or friends but I have found all you lovely ladies and do not feel so alone anymore. I keep my mantra as one day at a time. I would like to get back to that confident sexy woman I once was but I try to keep it realistic too and know these things take time. Thank you all for sharing, Louise x
