Hi Leonie
I hope you are recovering well from your surgery,and sorry to hear about your mum.
Like you I had no signs of menopause,age 51, when I received my diagnosis December 2009. I had my last period the day I started chemo. Nothing since then and I started Tamoxifen the minute my chemo was finished, in fact the same day I started radiotherapy. The chemo gave me the menopause symptons and stopped my period but things have really "hotted up"so to speak since I have been on the Tamoxifen. I suffer sweats on an almost hourly basis - worse after a hot drink ( like the cup of tea I am having right now). I haven't had any bleeding and I am probably more focussed on the other pain I am experiencing. I am hoping that the sweats and temperature changes will settle down in time but who knows? So 4 years and 9 months to go. I also have days when I want to throw them in the bin but we have to do what we have to do.
