I would like suggestions on natural supplements to get me through the menopause symptoms (that do not contain hormones). Have you heard of macafem and menersa, what dou you think?

I think you need to ask your oncologist about natural menopause remedies. My oncologist had a whole list of things to try, including black cohosh (though that may have fallen out of favor in the past few years) and vitamin E. Only your oncologist can "vet" any medicines - prescription, OTC, or natural. So make the call or send the email to your doc before you start treating yourself, OK? Good luck - PJH
