I definitely don't want cancer, BUT those hot flashes are horrible! Be fine one minute, standing talking with someone and then all of a sudden you feel on fire and the sweat just poors. The person you're talking with looks at you like "what the heck"!!! It was bothersome at night too. Had a lot of sleepless nights.
I take the lowest dose of Premarin and then only take it every other day. I'm doing great now. My mom didn't even have one single symptom when she went through the change. I wish I could have had it that easy.
