hot flashes from surgical menopause
Comments

I too had ovarian cancer stage3c and everything taken out. Even before I got out of the hospital I was waking soak and wet. For a couple months I did take an estrogen supplement and then tapered off and now nothing. Everyone has given you good advice - especially excercise or walking. I do drink green tea and a friend of mine does also.. seems to help. Ask your Dr as somepeople are helped by taking some of the anti depressents for this(far less risks than HRT). Are you getting chemo now? What is the follow up plan since surgery? Keep us posted and know you are in our prayers. Take care and God Bless0

I've tried everything there is to try. I was on estrogen but was taken off of it as soon as it was discovered that my ovarian cancer cells were estrogen-sensitive. I do have a wonder drug. I can't believe I got so lucky, I started seeing a GP and she prescribed BELLASPAS. It started working the first day I took it! It's so wonderful that I don't have to endure those horrible hot flashes. Ask your doctor about them!

I'm new to the site and noticed that you found something for your hot flashes that is not estrogen based. Do you know if it is hormone free? I too have to stay away from estrogen but I also need to stay away from the other hormones as well. Have you had any side effects from the prescription? Also, is it an antidepressent?0
