Hello, Ive been having horrible hot flushes and night sweats and wanted to know if anyone knows if thess are mainly due to menopause brought on by treatments im just about to start Tamoxifen will they get better or worse? or are they causdd by chemo?
Thanks :)
Are you having zolvadex as I think they can be a side effect, I have them too just have to have plenty of night clothes at the ready to change in the night speaking to my mum it is the same as the menopause but it does not mean you are necessarily going through the menopause take care
Hi peanut89, I have been on tamoxifen for 3 months now and no hot flushes as yet. I did however get terrible flushes when I was on the T part of my chemo which also stopped my periods. I have been told that side effects with tomoxifen do ease after a few months as your body adjusts. My side effects at the moment consist of achey bones/joints and my vision goes misty when I’m overly tired. It’s all doable though and seems to be easing with time. Fingers crossed for you, whiskers
