Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:43 pm I have a friend that had breast cancer and is taking tomoxafin. The problem is the medication is causing hotflashes. She had them under control before but they are back with a vengence and so far nothing the doctor has prescribed is giving her any relief. She would prefer to take a "natural" approach but at this point would be willing to try anything. I told her I knew just where to go for good advice!!

Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:41 am I talked to my friend last evening and he suggested a herbal called Black Cohosh. I then googled it and found out that Black Cohosh has been linked to the spread of breast cancer. Yikes!! But I did run across a very helpful web site. Check out breastcancer.org.
