My sleep is regularly disturbed following ovarian cancer and an abdominal hysterectomy. I wake up with hot flushes almost every night.
I was on hrt until last year and I'm 62, nearly 63. Of course, I can't take HRT anymore now.
Hello there! I was on HRT too before a stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis last year - Drs took me off it - I underwent the same surgery as yourself including chemo - a few symptoms have returned (I’m 59) I probably get two warm flashes a day and mood swings .. my oncologist said I could go back on it if I felt it would alleviate my symptoms - I chose not too for the moment as I feel my body it still healing and I’m still in targeted chemo but may consider it again in the future. I would think the support nurses and talking to your oncologist would help you make decisions about supplements. Wishing you luck best wishes
