Brainstorker,

I had the same experience with no periods for several months, then extra heavy ones for aboout a year (sometimes three in two months, with very few days in between). Now I'm going through a regular menopause with hot flashes - and yes, i had something like hot flashes right after the radiation, only I was so sick that they just seemed like a minor part of the general misery.

My regular Dr. sends me to all possible tests, pap, mammograms etc. - somehow she seems to blame herself for my cancers, although I keep telling her that she saved my life, sending me directly to the ENT the first time she saw the bump on my neck.

I am a great believer in testing - PET, CAT, (dog?)
