Hi Mary Jo. I went into chemopause when I started treatment to this day my cycle returned 1 month w/ a vengence and haven't had one since. It took some time but the hotflashes & nightsweats have mostly subsided. Occasionally, if I am anxious I will have a hotflash but it does not happen on a regular basis anymore. That being said I am not sure if my cycle will return or if I am finished with menopause. I was 39 when diagnosed and still had a very regular cycle I am hoping it have finished menopausing.
