Did your period come back after chemo? If so, when?
Hi. I'm interested in hearing about other womens' experiences in this area. I'm 51 and was still getting my period when I was diagnosed early last December. Definitely peri-menopausal though, I missed...
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.
