I’m sorry, I’m on the west coast, in Spokane, Wa. Her oncologist told me that plant based hormones are not a problem, and he’s recommended black cohosh and soy to help with hot flashes. I also keep her vitamin d level on the high side… above 60. There’s an excellent YouTube video concerning this. I’ll attach it for you. I don’t think that there is a be all, end all drug available at this time. She has also had a depression issue for many years, and I give her St. John’s wort for that… it seems to work very well. Anytime I have a question, or want to try something new, I send him a question through the portal. He tells why/why not and gives me links to research, as he knows I spend countless hours reading. To me this is about my partner, and I wouldn’t let her down. I’ve attended all of the procedures. Except actually being in the surgery, but all mammograms, mri’s, biopsies, radiation therapy, etc. When the biopsy was performed the Dr told me I had to wait outside, I told my wife to get dressed. Then she got me a chair to sit in while she did the procedure.
I seem to have conflicts with most doctors, because I do a lot of research , but like I said, this is my wife.
I hope this helps…
And I pray you will be healed. This is a tough journey.
