      Hi all hope you all having a good day as can be in a melanoma world. My GP has given me Fluoxetine for hot flushes am having. Think it's the change that I am going through. Anyone had these and had any side effects when on treatment. She said it would be fine but I am always concerned if taking meds that could interfere with treatment ect.

                Hi Deb,

                so sorry , this disease hate it . Cannot see your profile on what treatments you have had. You mentioned  correct me if I am wrong Till treatment but no trials for this in UK in one of you posts. Where do you live and hospital you under. I do not fully understand everything about this disease it seems to have a mind of its own. What about chemo to see if helps you  and hope that they find you a trial ASAP. I am sending a big hug and strength for you and keep fighting for you and loved ones. That's what I do every day think of my loved ones. Always here for you
