Laurie,
When I was on the AC I had a period starting four days after every treatment. So in two months I had a period 4 times. Then I had my first Taxotere treatment and again I started a period. But soon found out it was just spotting and then that was it, no more periods. I was 39 and it was Jan of 2005. The hot flashes started and some days I have 15. But I am exercising now and it helps tremendously, I still get two in the middle of the night, but during the day only about 5 or so.

Now that I am in medical menopause the hair on my legs is very sparse. During chemo it was gone. I was lucky that way. Then the rash of steriods during the taxotere brought the hair back. But after eight months and the addition after chemo of the tamoxifen the hair on my legs is sparse, probably 1/4 of what I had before. I shave my legs once every week and a half, about.

Good Luck with everything. You will survive through it.
