Hi Nepol,

I may have been the one who posted about drinking soy milk while I was on Lupron. I used to drink three 8 ounce glasses of vanilla or chocolate soy milk per day. I do believe it reduced the hot flashes. This was a recommendation from my RO.
I hope you try it and it helps!

That's a lot of calories...
I don't have any suggestions, but I would hope there's a better way if you want isoflavones etc.

The Uro nurse who gave me my lupron shot suggested soy milk. Used soy milk for my coffee and bought chocolate soy milk to drink. The thought of drinking white soy milk made me gag. The chocolate milk was great-brought back childhood memories. Alas my hot flashes continued. Tried Vitamin E, no luck. Oncology Pharmacist suggested DHA Ultimate, a supplement-basically fish supplement. I believe it helped a lot at first and that I am still better than I was before. Costs about $45 per month and my wife's FSA pays for it because I have a scrip from Dr.
