Hot Flushes
After switching from Anastrazole to Tamoxifen I have turned into a volcano of hot flushes and I can’t cope with them any more. I’ve tried all the “things”, including acupuncture & hypnotherapy but still having so many to the point of dripping in sweat. Do they settle down at all (I’m 4 months on Tamoxifen) and whilst I don’t want to take yet another drug my doctor has suggested Veozah. Has this worked for anyone?
Post chemo / zoladex & letrazole side effects (hoping for some hope - please!)
Hello ladies, I finished 6 months of chemo (doxy then paclitaxcel) recently and then started on zoladex and letrazole last week. I am feeling VERY anxious all the time, very tired and flat - not like "myself" at all and really pretty non-functional. I can barely make a cup of tea and seem to just stare at walls when I'm home alone (often). I managed surgery and 6 months of chemo basically alone and unsupported and I coped. Now that I'm closer to family I seem to have really mentally crashed. Motivation is zero and the smallest things are an effort. I was more functional than this DURING chemo... Is this normal post chemo? A crash? Or is it the new hormone suppressants? Will it pass? Can anyone PLEASE offer me any words of wisdom or hope around recovering from chemo and the adjustment times to the hormone suppressants? Wishing you all so well. SDM.
