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!!

Resortgirl...I'll check with an ob/gyn/oncologist that I'm friends with and let you know if there is anything that he can suggest.

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.

Thanks Bobbie, she did mention that she had tried that and it didn't help at all... I wonder if she knew the link to breast cancer... scary!!
