hot flashes gone already?

Well I have been off Taxol for a month now, and last week my hot flashes stopped. Could it be that my ovaries are working already? I thought if I was going into menopause that the hot flashes would continue for awhile. I guess I could have my estrogen levels checked to see. Is that the only way to check if you are menopausal? I have not had a period since the start of Taxol, but I usually only had one or two a year anyways. I thought for sure that this would put me into menopause for good. Maybe it still will, but at least for now the hot flashes are gone.Thanks in advance for any input:
