Hi Sue yes the hot flashes were horrific as my face would go really red and then I got rosacea, had anxiety and brain fog.. after 6 months my surgeon put me back on HRT which was a huge relief, but I did get cancer again last November and I’m off HRT again.. it’s not as bad this time but I’m still getting hot flashes not as badly as before… I miss HRT but I’m nervous about it now, my oncologist is not keen on the idea.. Hope you get good news from your endocrinologist x
