Penny, yes, I was 45 when I finished radiation and my gyn told me it had pushed me into early menopause (periods stopped), however, after two years I started back on track, now, at age 49, I am hot flashing a LOT!! Not sure what is next, I will see my gyn in November, maybe she can figure it out. SMILE, Carol
