Acupuncture for hot flushes

Posted by Chris on 30 May 2013, 12:24AM

Hi Ladies, just wondering if any of you have ever used acupuncture for the relief of hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms? I am new to Perth, and am keen to try this, but have no contacts here. Can anyone recommend a good Acupuncturist here in Perth?

Breast prosthesis to give away

Posted by Chris on 09 Feb 2013, 10:00AM

Hi Ladies,

I have a breast prosthesis to give away if anyone is interested. It is by Amoena and is for a right breast and is called a Natura 3E, size 4R. It also says on the box, that it replaces Natura 3E 661. So, if that means anything to you, great, but if not, I was about a 14B before surgery, so not very big.

A new fear

I have developed a lump between my sentinel node biopsy scar, and my mastectomy scar. It is probably just scar tissue, but the more I worry, the more prominent it seems to become. It appears to be in the area where already a level 1 lymph node clearance took place about 19 months ago. My GP is wonderful, and suggested I have an ultrasound, so as to 'hopefully' put my mind at ease. I am having this today, and am now very nervous. This will include a fine needle biopsy if anything is discovered. The thought of recurrence is never far from my mind.

Accupunture

Hi ladies, can anyone tell me if they have tried accupunture for relief of hot flushes? My oncologist recommended it as an option to try before using other medications. I am well and truly over these hot flushes, and am looking to try something different. He said it was also good at helping with sleep.

Femara side effects

Posted by Chris on 22 Nov 2011, 08:32AM

I started taking femara 3 months ago, and for a while I thought I might have been one of the lucky ones who didn't get side sffects, apart from the hot flushes. In the last couple of weeks it has dawned on me that my stiff hips and achy legs might actually be early side effects. My legs ache all day long, rather like chemo legs, or flu like legs. Also when I stand from sitting, or first get out of bed, I walk and hobble like an old lady. My hip joints get better as I move around, but my legs just ache all day.
