hopeful2 - that's got to be be like a double whammy! i also have symptoms and was on hormones which took care of it but then out came the studies that they were bad, bad, bad and i went off of them. i still have hot flashes and don't sleep well which i'm sure, hinders MY recovery. i tried the black cohash, soy, wild yam and they did not help me, but they may help her.
i may end up going back on lower dose hormones for a short while - it just absolutely saps your strength.
good luck and hope others have some tips for you
