The surgery and treatment pushed me from regular periods to only haivng one every 4-6 months. But after rad and chemo was over, I was also put on Tamoxifen for the breast cancer I was being treated for, and that also has an effect so it's a combination of a bunch of things. I have some hot flashes, not too many (knock on wood). I just turned 48--it was going to happen sometime soon anyway! Like you and Karen, I don't miss cramps and other "monthly issues"......
