Valdosta, GA

I was told by my oncologist that I had gone through menopause after chemo and radiation was done. I am 53 and 2 weeks ago I started bleeding for a solid week after nothing for 4 yrs.

I am glad that you are following up with your medical team. Four years is a long time to be without a period and then start bleeding.

Mine left with the first chemo round never to be seen again, however, two years into Tamoxafin my onco decided to switch me to an aromatase inhibitor, which is reserved for post-meno babes. He thought to check my pituitary and ovary function, just to be sure. We were both surprised I was still premenopausal. So, you never know unless you’re tested- I imagine that’s one of the first things your gyno will do.

No, I'm not. When I called my oncologist, I was told to make an appt. With my gynecologist. Waiting for an appt.
