I do actually have another thread going but was wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed at 50?Im not “young” but I’m not post menopausal either. Wondering what treatments others have had.

Hi @Nickii2, welcome to the group no one wants to be in. I'm getting night flushes with chemo, so feel like I'm practising for hormone therapy! I wasn't menopausal before chemo, but my gynaecologist thinks I've been pushed into it now. I've stopped worrying too much about the long list of side effects, everyone seems to be affected differently. My oncologist said I probably won't get a period after this, and I'm choosing to take it as a win if that happens 😆

Hi @MrsMorrisey I was 56 and not post menopausal much to the Mcgraths nurse disbelief. I had chemo and surgery followed with one year targeted therapy. Your treatment very much depends on your cancer type rather than your age.

hi. I am a 51 year old, post menopausal that has recently been diagnosed with TNBC.

Hi. I am 53 - not post menopausal either. I had surgery first, then chemo and radiation. Still having immunotherapy every 3 weeks (for 12 months) as I have HER 2+ BC. Plus now taking hormone suppressor (Tamoxifen).

Hi, I was diagnosed at 49, 6 weeks before my 50th. I'm perimenopausal. Mine was Invasive lobular, grade 2 stage 1, no chemo; had radiation and now tamoxifen. All the best
