Today’s appointment with the oncologist went well. My counts were good so I’ve been cleared for chemo tomorrow. One of the topics of conversation today was hot flashes. During the day, I can cope with them because I can always find some way of cooling off, like sticking my head in the fridge. At night however, the hot flashes wake me up several times and there’s not much I can do but kick off the covers and hope they pass quickly. So, I’ve been signed up for the “Hot Flash Clinic”. Who knew it even existed…but it does. The oncologist is concerned that because I don’t get a restful sleep, I could develop cronic fatigue. Basically the end result of the clinic is that I will be put on medication to control the hot flashes. I was hoping they would subside once chemo was done but the doctor said they will probably get worse with the other medication I have to take after chemo. I guess it’s a good thing that I have the french pill organizer.
