Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Hello- I have heard women describe hot flash as a match on your skin. Mine have not been that severe. I do feel hot sometimes which I guess that is one. I at first didn't know if that is what a hot flash is but I guess it is because it only lasts a few seconds.

I'm kinda loopy from the treatment today. I think I need to be quiet for a while. :-(Take care m'dear.Dari SHARON COLEY DIRECTOR OF SALES DOUBLETREE HOTEL LOS ANGELES/ROSEMEAD 888 MONTEBELLO BLVD.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 My hot flashes started at age 32 when they removed an ovary because they suspected cancer. It was benign but I had been on hormone replacement for many years. Interesting that my carcinoma was hormone negative. My Mom had HOT FLASHES most of her life and so have I. Not too many since lumpectomy but some. They start on the inside and I am suddenly too warm for what I have on. Very distressing and uncomfortable, and sometimes I can talk myself into accepting it and forget about it, which helps me end the session. I recently talked myself out of vomiting when I was very sure I was going to. Certainly I feel like I have control and it's good to try.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 beats wearing a winter coat in the winter huh ,,lolTrisha wrote: Hey Sharon, My hot flashes are POWER SURGES! I can be cold and then all of a sudden my whole body is sweating and hot as if someone put me in an oven. I have to either go outside or remove some clothing. I have them very often and have since my hysterectomy in 1975 but they are a bit worse now during chemo. I never buy bulky sweaters or any clothing that is for COLD weather. I rarely even wear a coat outdoors even. -- Re: Hot Flash Hello- I have heard women describe hot flash as a match on your skin. Mine have not been that severe.
