hot flashes

Hey there, I just replied on the previous thread! Sounds like we are shivering / hot flash sisters .  Thanks world, welcome to your "new normal" lol

Sadly these are most likely hormonal, as an older person on oestrogen-busting meds for a different cancer (bc) I can identify!!! 
any  concerns, please do contact your specialist nurse, they’d much rather you pester than struggle with something that ‘might’ be a problem!

HI there. I had ABVD for HL aged 43-44...and experienced 5 months of terrible hot flushes after. My doc said it was probably menopause too...but then, just as I started getting blood tests to check hormones, they just gradually went away and my periods resumed. I feel for you- they are so disruptive...but they might go away I time. Good luck!

hey Oak tree, I'm so sorry to hear you had such a terrible time with the hot flushes.  I hope with the return of your periods that's not giving you too much pain either.  Weirdly haven't had any sweats for the past few days, I do find when one symptom disappears another one pops up, like it's a big bag of perplexing symptoms.  Had horrid bone pain in the arm they put the infusion into 5 days after chemo, have no idea if that's a delayed reaction, or the chemo. Day 10 now - this seems to be the first day feeling "relatively" normal :-). I hope you're having a good Sunday and thank you for your message x x x
