I am 80 years old. How old are you?
Could your age be influencing your continued hot flashes?
I'm really hoping mine disappear!

I had my ovaries out at 38 after chemo and before radiation. The came 5 years of tamoxifen and 10 years of anastrozole. The long answer is I am not yet 60, and I am not sure if I would still be having ungodly hot flashes without all of that. I am still burning up all day every day and half the night.
Did you have hot flashes before you started endocrine therapy?
