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?

I had them with menopause, when I was 50. But not since then. I've kept telling myself they were better than cancer. But since I'm clear after 5years, I am saying enough is enough.
