Hi everyone. Im after any advice anyone has regarding helping control hot flashes!

Mine started during chemotherapy (I'm 52 and I was told it might bring on the menopause as i was peri-menopausal before treatment), and ebb and flow in intensity.

I'm due to have my first Zoladex implant this week, and I've been told they may increase, which I'm dreading, as they are already effecting my sleep.

My cancer was er+ and pr+, so HRT not an option. I'll be starting Anastrozole and Abemaciclib in the coming weeks too, which also state hot flashes as a side effect.

Has anyone found anything that helps? 

Many thanks in advance Relaxed️
