Hi from Australia to all my 'sisters' & 'brothers' in US

I'm not sure what foods to eat or avoid to keep my Estrogen & Progesteron levels ok

but not so much that I will refeed a cancer growth

I had so many hot flushes (and still do 3 years later) I couldnt take Tamoxifen

I had no problems with flushes for 3 months until I went on Tamoxifen after chemo & radiation

    Hi Karen and welcome!  I don't know that I have answers to your questions, but you might want to look at the Alternative, Complimentary and Holistic board.  You might find lots of suggestions there for balancing your hormone levels.  Best of luck to you!

    You've probably already considered this - but I had unbelievable hot flashes with tamox - UNTIL doc put me on half dose of effexor. I now feel great and almost never a hot flash. Good luck.
