I'm due for my sixth and last chemo cycle this week. I've had one period during chemo, but now seem to be in chemopause, as I have started having really narly hot flashes. Any one else experience hot flashes on chemo? If so, did your period come back after treatment ended?

    I also experienced some hot flashes during chemo (4 rounds of AC + 4 rounds of Taxol), mostly at night. My period did eventually come back, about 7 months after I ended chemo.

    I to have the hot flashes I get them all through out the day seems worse since I started Taxol. I have one more treatment of Taxol and then I'm done moving on to 6 weeks of radiation.

    Thanks, girls. Appreciate it. Sure hope these things are temporary--I must wake up six times a night, feeling like I'm on fire. Then it's followed by cold chills. It's ridiculous, as well as being about twenty years too early. Tongue out

    Hi Nash,

    I'm 31, dx with ILC in Feb 2007. Had 3 x CEF and 3 x Taxotere.

    I too went into chemopause, and experienced those nasty hot-flashes. Worse even, it was winter over here, so I went from looking like an eskimo, to taking everything off, to putting it back on, all in the space of 5 mins! Hehe, it must have looked funny to all the guys I work with...

    My period did come back about a month after I finished with tx. I started Tamoxifen a month ago, so it has stopped again. AND the hot-flashes and night-sweats have started again. Aargh!!!

    Looking on the bright side: if I go through this now, I wont need to go through it later!

    Have a blessed day,

    Janine
