How long does it take for hot flashes to improve. I’m about 10 months out since dx and treatment. Have not tolerated hormone blockers well at all and thinking of stopping.
I’m fatigued and upset about how my quality of life has been impacted esp by the adjuvant therapy.

I am so sorry about your hot flashes, I can’t say how long it will last but I can tell you the things I have done over the long years to tolerate them. I can’t really say I have embraced them but I have learned some tips. The best of which is paper fans. The little hand held ones you can buy in import stores or online. The fabric ones are pretty for dress up but don’t work as well. I have them everywhere! One next to the bed because when you lay down you get one and when you sit up you get one. Next to my chair, inside and out. Always at my desk. The next one is a rechargeable fan my husband bought me online that is really quiet and gives me that while I can keep knitting. Finally be patient with yourself, if you have one of the really bad ones where it is almost seizure like, just stop and give yourself a break. You have been through a lot!
I noticed you said you are 10 months out from diagnosis. Struggling with hormone blockers and not tolerating adjuvant therapy. Can you tell me more about your journey, what treatments you have gone through, and what you are taking now. Are you changing up your diet and lifestyle as well as taking treatments?
