Re: Did chemo put you into menopause?
I was 46 and my chemo stopped my periods almost straight away.
When I finished my Onc did an Estradiol test and felt I was in menopause but warned my period could possibly re start even a year later. I decided to have my ovaries removed and take arimidex as I was highly triple positive and really did'nt think Tamox was for me, so far I'm almost six years out so happy with my decision
