I had a complete abdominal hysterectomy on 2/25/14 and, during recovery, we discovered cancerous lumps in both breasts, which I had removed (bilateral lumpectomy) this past Wednesday, 3/12/14. Through this roller coaster, the hysterectomy recovery kind of took second place in focus, but now I am starting to have hot flashes. What do you recommend for help, since It sounds like I won t be able to take hormones due to the cancer? Also, what can you tell me about bio identical hormones? Thank you so much - Deanette Shields
