Hi,
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Autumn sunshine while it's here. I was wondering if anyone else has been bothered by acne during treatment? I am having Herceptin every three weeks and the chemo seems to have thrown me into full-on menopause now ( was peri menopausal before). I've now got lovely acne all over my chin and generally lower part of face and neck. Also, any tips for hot flushes when you can't take hrt? I'm HER2+ . I appear to be on fire at least a dozen times a day and the night sweats are a pain.
Many thanks
Hi Moomin48
Sorry to hear that chemo seems to have given you the menopause. While I don't have any answers for you I noticed that you haven't had any replies yet so I thought I'd reply to you to put you to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.
Best wishes
