Hi all
I finished my 2 years of zoladex 6 weeks ago. Yeeessss!!! Just 2 and 3/4 years of tamoxifen left.
I was expecting the hot flushes to be about the same as they were just before each injection ( a bit milder), but I have to say I have been suffering the last couple of weeks. Not only am I getting hotter but sweaty too! I haven’t changed anything else - diet etc and I can’t blame it on the weather!
Has anyone else experienced this? Do they get better? Also did your periods come back?
thanks

Hi fantan
I’m an old member of these forums but haven’t been on here in ages. I finished zoladex about two and half years ago. I no longer have hot flushes. You might find it just takes time for your body to adjust itself. I had 6 sessions of FEC, two years of zoladex and am about to finishe tamoxifen in about 6 months. I have had periods since stopping zoladex, they seem to come in 9 monthly cycles and then I get about three and then they stop. I have had a hormonal blood test and have been told that my ovaries are still working.
I’m lucky that my GP is really good and every time I have a bleed he sends me to a gynaecologist just to get checked out but he too says that it’s just my periods returning.
Hope this helps
