@dutchman09 I am on chemo for multiple myeloma. I also have neuropathy in my lower left leg/foot caused by the myeloma, and use a cane to help mobility, now. It is one of three health issues currently being addressed, all unrelated to the other.
Yeah for being able to grin at some of the terms used in the article! Just the other day I met a fellow from my same hometown, we were 1000 miles from there [small world, right?] who shared he was a male breast cancer survivor, so I am sure he has had the same cocked head response to articles on breast cancer!
I hope you will find some relief in the prescription you were given, along with more mundane choices of cool water and layers of clothes!

Sorry to read about your multiple melanoma. My lower left leg and especially my left foot seems to be getting worse especially when laying down if they rub against the sheet or something! I know there is no cure for PN but after reading the reviews for Neuropure (not written by the product maker) I decided to give it a try. Should come in the mail any day. I did not know melanoma could cause Nephropathy. I should use a cane because of my balance problem from PN but I'm stubborn!
It seems funny to read the phrase 'male breast cancer' when it's anything but! My breasts have enlarged somewhat because of the hormone therapy. But I guess it's just something else to live with. Fingers crossed, so far no real hot flashes incidence. As mentioned, I've taken that prescription before to try and lower my PSA but never made the connection with hot flashes.
