Hi Nav, sorry to hear you are having bad menopause symptoms, they are the pits! Someone on here, maybe Erint(?), uses a naturopath that was also an oncologist I think and had great results with her. Have you considered a naturopath? I think if you found the right one who knew a bit about breast cancer they might be able to help you.

I do hope that you manage to get some relief, I sleep with the fan on me most nights even in the winter. I still have to toss the doona off every so often but not as much as I would without the fan. I also believe you can buy gel mats to put on top of your mattress but under the sheets and they are supposed to be most effective.

Hi Nav,
Good to see you post, not so good the effects of menopause. I know I would steer well clear of HRT.

I know you will do lots of research and check with the experts and decide accordingly. :hugs:

Im BRAC1+ (so have to have my ovaries removed) and was told that too!....they told me hormones did play a part in triple negative tumors and for that reason I will not be able to use HRT once i go into instant menopause....im still trying to figure out my options

Sorry to hear you dont feel well hope you get better soon, I am HRT2+ and my sister was diagnoses with 3 negative according to the doctors there is no relationship with the 2 according to her oncologist both are related and genetic, to be honest I do not know what to believe sometime I feel like floating experiment and lets try and see if it works. It drives me crazy talking to the doctors they never give you a straight answer, you tell them about side effects from chemo and they said dont worry is normal.
To be honest is suck nothing is how is used to be and they tell you all is good

triple neg and HRT ?

Postby yowyow » Fri Apr 19, 2013 6:24 pm

Hi everyone :wave:

Just curious

After being on zoladex while having chemo, I experienced all things "medically induced menopause" harshly and hated it!!!
I started ovulating again 5 months after my last zoladex shot.
Had heaps of probs with painful periods etc but I continued to ovulate for around 6 years.

In the last 2 months WOW has it hit me..... hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, seriously bad broken sleep etc etc etc
I have not had a "period" since before xmas sometime ?? could be October maybe ?

I am getting into bed with icepacks, to have on hand.... have started taking Femular, which will take a few weeks
to show effects but fingers crossed because I am right back where I was with zoladex... my oh my not enjoying this.

I was warned this could happen early after chemo and zoladex... I am 42, but there was no warning.. just BAM POW!!

I know this is a question for specialists and a decision to make myself, as I have also read triple neg tumours can
begin as ER+ (not sure how they could test that) but some secondaries can come back with a different make up.

Just wondering if any other triple negs have looked at HRT or know the risks ? -
