45 at diagnosis @kmakm. Everything ticking along like clockwork with no signs of menopause. The first AC sure stopped that in its tracks!
I had a set of hormone tests just after I finished chemo and they were still showing definitely pre menopausal, I get a few twinges here and there and think it might be starting again but nope, nothing yet.
So that's just on 12 months since then end of chemo. I think the Tamoxif**k is messing with it as well. You will probably know of my on and off relationship with this drug. When I have my "holiday" I could swear a little bit longer and everything would start working again. I just get that feeling but I'm too scared to stay off it for too long.
Seriously, it gives me shits. Every time I hear about a recurrence even with being on these HT drugs it makes the urge stronger to give it the flick. I want my brain back, the bone aches gone and I want my f***ing libido back.
I so want to stay off it even though it's exactly opposite to what I should be thinking I guess.
I would be so close to feeling 100% normal. I really hate being scared of my own hormones..........
Sorry for the rant but it really ticks me off.
