Hot flushes

What an interesting observation you make. I’m in my 40’s and was experiencing hot flushes and night sweats for a good year prior to breast cancer diagnosis. I was convinced it was to do with menopause and taking after my mum who went through menopause in her later 30’s to 40’s. Sadly I carried on with life convincing myself that it had to be menopause. I am still experiencing the symptoms and now that I am off the mirena, my periods have returned and on reflection I have also wondered whether there is a link between the hot flushes and night sweats, mood swings ad breast cancer. I have not started treatment yet. 

Interesting indeed. Even though I’m well through my menopause, I didn’t think there was anything suspicious about the hot flushes. Maybe there is no link, but I think I’ll mention it to my breast nurse.
