Knew there was a post a ways back for the guys but I didn't see the woman's side addressed. One of the side effects of chemo they didn't warn me about was that it pushes you through menopause. All of a sudden it hit me after 4 months of treatment that I hadn't had a period and when I asked my oncologist he was surprised that no one told me I never would have one!

Gee - I guess compared to keeping me alive it didn't seem too important to them back then to even mention it. Hormone replacement is not an option after you have had cancer. or so my doc tells me. So....my question to the women out there is how do you keep the fire alive after menopause??? - Kris
