Having had the most awful sweats the last few month I asked my GP to do a blood test to check my oestragen levels. The results came back to say I am menopausal. As HRT is not something I would take, my Gp suggested either Black Cohsh or Red Clover, both plant extracts. I am wondering if anyone has any experience of either of these & also if they would be ok whilst taking Nilotinib?
All the best

Dear Ali,
I would suggest that you try natural progesterone cream. I found this very very helpful, especially for 'hot' flushes- gone in 10 days.
It is much safer to use a cream rather than risk a herbal prep. which may or may not work and might be contraindicated with taking TKI.
try google search- there is a UK company that you can buy the cream from- one pot lasts around 2-3 months depending on how much you need to counter the effects of menopause.
