Hi, I was diagnosed in January with breast cancer and I’m really struggling with menopause symptoms. Mainly hot flushes and itchy skin, when I look at the side effects of chemo they are very similar too - anyone else found what to take to deal with it?
I have been to my doctors today who has prescribed something (I pick it up tomorrow) so I’ll let you know how that goes! I also discovered today that we can all get free prescriptions, just fill out a form from the chemist and get your doctor to sign it, otherwise it was going to cost me £20 a month for the next 10 years!!!
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
