Linda, i know the panic, i had the same situation and it just turned out that I was such a woman despite being induced into menopause. i was having normal (well-normal for a healthy pre-menopausal gal anyway)follicular activity. Ovarian function, etc. is triggered, largely, by pituitary-originated hormones and subject to many influences. Often times women who have even had total hysterectomies in ther pre-meno years will, in their 50's or so, start have menopausal symptoms. this is because our pituitary is 'programmed' to function in a certain capacity until middle age, regardless of the affected parts-it's amazing really.
Anyway, I work with many breast cancer clients and i can think of no one with ovarian mets. Let us know.
love, joy
