when I went through menopause initially (I am now in perpetual menopause due to my Femara cancer pill!)...I did not want to get hormone replacement therapy so I went holistic (lots of stuff for menopausal symptoms in the health food stores)...worked really good to minimize my symptoms (plus sticking my head in a freezer for hot flashes)... but ALWAYS check with your onc prior to taking any supplements as some of them can interfere with other meds and your chemo...I just carry around a paper fan now all the time...good luck
