Any 50 year olds?

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 😆
  • Thanks @Katie46 - after reading through a lot of conversations even though it most definitely isn’t a group I wanted to be in, it appears it’s full of thoughtful, caring and incredibly brave women, so I’ll take that !
    I suppose hot flushes isn’t the worst is it ! And yes, take that as a bonus. I’ve been so close to full menopause a couple of times now, but that sneaky period just arrives, be gone with it I reckon.
