It's been eight awful years for me. I'm 57 now. Breast cancer and chemothearpy at 49 through me right into menop. No slow transition for me. My cancer is estrogen/progestrogen positive (est/pro feeds the cancer) so I can not use hormone replacement. I have very severe hot flashes, memory problems, cognitive problems, NO sex drive, insomnia, mood problems and whatever else menopause causes. I am at my wits end. I am so fatigued. I also have fibromyalgia so it just adds to the problems. I am about to ask my oncoligist if I can go on hormone replacement for just a while, for a break. I cannot stand it anymore, and I don't know how my husband can stand me anymore. I can't stand me anymore. Today I can not remember words. It makes me nuts.
