I was told that the treatment might push me to an early menopause and it did apply to me. I had regular period before and during treatment and I was not yet ready for menopause. But when the treatment completed, I just had period for 2 more times ( a few months apart) and then that was it. I didn't experience any hot flashes or discomfort of menopause, as some of my friends went through. So I consider the early menopause good to me because I need not suffer from the monthly menstrual pain any more.
