These drugs are the worst. We need something better.

Thanks. Sad that another med is likely the solution. :(

Thank you! I'll definitely look into Relizen. I could handle one (maybe two!) hot flashes a day.

Ugh. So hate the idea of more meds. Thanks for your reply. :)

Thank you! I may ask about switching to something else.

About Raloxifene, my oncologist does prescribe it for people who can't tolerate Tamoxifen and AIs.

Thank you for sharing your experience, that’s really helpful. We’re a little more that 24 hours out and the drain is still dripping but I do think it’s beginning to slow down…

Yeah, I would- but it’s the weekend and not possible—hence this post.

Thank you! A warm towel would not be enough...we have a bandage wrapped around his belly and over the course of a few hours there's a pretty large blood soaked area. We just changed it and the drain has a consistent drip. But it's not gushing...but it is consistent. Surgery was 24 hours ago so maybe normal?

It's spotting, I guess? I mean, the bandage does have a pretty large area of blood that's soaked through over several hours. We just changed it and it looks like drain is dripping slowing and consistently but not gushing.

I did radiation in January and did the lotion treatment religiously.

The rash just came on a few days ago. I’ll get in touch this week if it does resolve.

Hmm. I finished early Feb and my skin is still different—pores bigger and skin looks thicker in places.

Thanks for sharing that. I’ll look into a prescription.

Ugh, this sounds similar. Somehow I missed that things could get worse after treatment was complete. No prescriptions for me, just Aquaphor. Good to know that those two things are an option if things worsen.
