Hi Beth

I was in a similar situation although I am older than you are. I was close to my periods ending but not quite. The chemo took care of it for me.

My onc. was in a hurry to get me on an A.I. but he left me on
Tamoxifen for 3 or 4 months. During that time we kept checking
my estridol and after it stayed low for 4 months and he was sure
that I was in full menopause, I was switched to the A.I.
