Hi all, following a single mastectomy, chemo & radiation last year I am now 9 months into taking the above meds. I am 50 years old. I am particularly struggling with sleeping, I am waking up around every 2 hours as I'm having a hot flush ( they are quite short) and also getting up to pee. As my cancer was hormone positive I'm limited as to what I can take for the flushes. My Oncologist suggested sage which hasn't helped. She's now mentioned Citalopram which I would need to see my GP about. I've also read that a lack of estrogen can contribute to frequent peeing at night. It would be good to hear from anyone who's experienced similar and found something that has helped.
