When I was diagnosed at age 41 with BC my Oncologist said that I most likely would be forced into menopause by the chemo since I was most likely close to it anyway (my mom and grandma started in their mid-forties).
Since I was diagosed last August and went thru chemo I have only had 2 periods, both of which were long and very heavy. I keep asking my dr. if there is any tests they can run just to confirm if I am in fact in menopause; his answer is always that I am.
I do have some menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, but I also get the typical PMS symptoms whenever I am due.
If anyone has any experience with this please let me know...there is a lack of information out there
