Hello Chezzer, you are definitely not alone on this one . I had bilateral mastectomies in July of last year followed by chemotherapy from December til March . I have been on Letrezole since then. Went onto Vencarm ,which is an antidepressant,but also used for menopausal sweats ,before I started my chemo,as this also seems to increase the sweats.It helped a little but during the summer months the sweating was just horrendous . I asked my Gp to put me on Clonidine which also helps . The sweats are now a lot less but I still have the odd moments in the evening ,I have a handheld fan now too .

As a deodorant I use Dr.organic without aluminium,from Holland & Barrett. It comes in a few different fragrances and you won’t smell.

Regarding the joint and bone discomfort, things have improved ,been on Letrezole for 8 months now . I do take Glucosamine and Collagen as well .

Hope this has been helpful ,let me know how you get on . Best wishes xxx

When my joint pain was really bad ,I would take Panadol or Brufen 

Thank you. I’ve found research a minefield & obviously most refer you back to your doctor / consultant but my appointments are now far apart so need advice in between. I’ll try glucosamine and your suggestions. Much appreciated
