Re: Chemo induced menopause

[Guest guest]

Judy I cant help you very much. Chemo put me into menopause immediately. I have had some spotting, and they have done some tests but everything looks ok. I was 49 when I was diagnosed and was already having trouble with my periods. (gosh I sure dont miss them) I was getting ready to schedule a hysterectomy when I found the cancer. I just keep a close watch because I am taking tamoxifen and it can uterine cancer.

Hi Judy,

I had my chemo starting in June 1990. I had it for 2 mo and then it stopped.

I never had another one. I was almost 44 at the time and will be 59 in Oct..

However last yr I started spotting and after a few D & Cs and hysteroscopies

etc I decided on a hysterectomy. I would be very careful if you don't want

any more children.

Hugs
