Hi all, I have recently started Tamoxifen and regular Prostap injections for oestrogen positive breast cancer, so have started to have menopause symptoms. I'm having regular hot flushes and am in a constant hot-cold cycle. I can manage during the day but it's really disrupting my sleep and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for non-hormonal menopause remedies? What worked for you?
Thanks!
I have bought some sage tablets from Amazon after doing some reading, they have dampened my flushes but I do need to let you know I only had a couple a day that would last a minute or two.
I checked with my oncologist before starting, she also said I was OK to take starflower oil.
I hope you find something to help
