Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / September 2006Zoladex
Has any of you taken this injection. My 41 yr old daughter had breast removed, and it has gone into her bones. She had her first shot of Zoladex yesterday, and is scared to death, Asked me to post, and see how long the hot flashes last, and if they get worst with each injection? She will start radiation, then chemo. She seems more scared about the hot flashes? Would welcome emails. > Has any of you taken this injection.

I was 40 when I was diagnosed. I too suffered from hot flashes (or flushes as we in the UK call them) and after an initially bad three months they seemed to settle somewhat. They never got worse than that, but I had "bad" periods (usually about a week every six weeks) and better periods. This was the pattern througout my two years. Hot flushes and their most evil twin sister, the night sweat, are horrible, but one does adjust to a certain extent. María Thank you for replying, but I do not think I will tell her what you said. She is scared to death of the hot flashes. I don't know how she will take to Chemo, so far, they are start Radiation on her hip. If that does not work, then the chemo. I feel she should have been on chemo long ago. She lives in SA, Tx, and I am in Pa. She has no relatives in Tx. I am not well enough to go down, but her sister, will. With email and telephone you can be their for her. The hot flashes are miserable but better then the alternative. Perhaps in a few months she can visit you! Alex |
