| 4 | Breast Cancer Stage I Grade 3 | Hot flashes and night sweats (annoying at worst), weight gain, infrequent bowel movements, increased tinnitus, upper back pain, frequently wake up during the night. | The hot flashes may be a result of chemotherapy (Cytoxan) which has stopped my menstrual cycle. I've gained 10lbs and no matter what I try, I can't loose it. I used to have regular bowel movements but now I have to take additional measures. I had slight tinnitus before but now it's noticeably worse. I also have unexplained upper back pain. I take Melatonin to help me get through the night. Overall, other than the upper back pain which may be from something else, my quality of life is pretty good. Currently cancer-free. | F | 46 | 20mg 1X D | 10/22/2011 | |
