Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Hey Kris, I had radiation only and did not have a period for several months afterwards. My gyn said I was pushed into earlier menopause (I was 45 at the time), possibly due to radiation but she wasn't sure. But currently I am back on a regular schedule again (at 47), go figure. p.s. my gyn prescribed HRT, but I chose not to take it due to my cancer diagnosis. Take Care and God Bless! Carol
