Hi Starfire, yes, you sound just like me! Completely and happily pre menopausal before diagnosis, 1 period just before 2nd chemo, flushes and ALL the symptoms you describe arrived after chemo 3/4. I asked about zoladex after finishing all my active treatment and that was why I had my bloods tested. My oestrodial was less than 35, so I was also most definitely post menopausal. I even got a second opinion about my management as you can see from the thread. Anyway, roll onto April and after feeling different (atrophy improvement was actually my first symptom that things were changing), I requested bloods and my oestrodial was 700+! On anastrazole! It is extremely unusual to return to premenopausal at my age - I didn't know the percentages - but I wanted you to know it can and does happen and to put it in your mind to be vigilant about any change in symptoms! I'm currently on zoladex and tamoxifen since April, and will change to exemestane once my ovaries finally give up! Anastrazole was ok. I did have bone and joint pain and limitations to my movement, but on tamoxifen, I'm exhausted! I can't even drive home from work I'm so tired. So, they all have effects - it's just finding the best way to manage them. Good luck!
