    anyone else using this? I started a couple days ago on the advice of my chemo dr.  I swear after two pills I was about 10% better.  It seems to have helped the mood swings after 3.5 days.. maybe in my head.. but I hate pills, so we'll see.

    A small clinical study which is listed on Sloan Kettering's website on supplements showed no ill effect on women with breast cancer who used this product but it was a 2 month study.  The study also showed very little benefit--a slight decrease in hot flashes but no difference in any other measurement.  Since little is known about the effect on women with estrogen driven tumors it is recommended that they not take black cohosh.

    I am triple negative and this was recommended to me specifically by my chemo dr.  It was really helped, it's been amazing.

    Methusala, I know 'normal' women who have used this with great success.  Kudos to your chemo Dr. for being up on supplements.  Best wishes!
